Incarnations (Black Friday 2023)

The music Charles Mingus and his group (including the legendary Eric Dolphy) recorded during his landmark 1960 sessions for Candid Records – the first in which he was given total creative freedom – produced three of the most revered jazz albums of the era.

Incarnations is the fourth great Mingus album to emerge from those historic sessions: a new masterpiece thoughtfully assembled from rare and unreleased material that stands proudly in the Mingus canon of masterworks.

Presented in a heavyweight sleeve with period- perfect artwork, liner notes by Pitchfork and Rolling Stone contributor Hank Shteamer, audio restored and remastered by Bernie Grundman, and pressed on 180-gram vinyl, Incarnations is the Mingus masterpiece nobody knew they were missing.
