CHARLES MINGUS SEXTET WITH ERIC DOLPHY CORNELL 1964 - AVAILABLE JULY 17

BLUE NOTE RECORDS PROUDLY ANNOUNCES CHARLES MINGUS SEXTET WITH ERIC DOLPHY - CORNELL 1964

A remarkable never-before released concert from Cornell University in 1964 that captures the bass master at a creative peak with one of the finest ensembles of his career. The 2-disc set features inspired performances of Mingus classics such as "Fables of Faubus," "Meditations," and "So Long Eric" when the piece was still a living celebration of Dolphy, just 3 months before the iconoclastic reedsman was to pass away at age 36.

CHARLES MINGUS - bass

ERIC DOLPHY - alto saxophone, flute, bass clarinet

CLIFFORD JORDAN - tenor saxophone

JOHNNY COLES - trumpet

JAKI BYARD - piano

DANNIE RICHMOND - drums

Release date: July 17, 2007

IT'S TRULY UNBELIEVEABLE THIS HAS NEVER BEEN OUT BEFORE.
