East Coating (2014 Remaster)

One of Charles Mingus' lesser-known band sessions, recorded in 1957, this lyrical set of five originals (plus the standard Memories of You) features his usual sidemen of the period (trombonist Jimmy Knepper, trumpeter Clarence Shaw, Shafi Hadi on tenor and alto, and drummer Dannie Richmond), along with pianist Bill Evans.
