Description

Reincarnation of a Lovebird is an album by jazz bassist and composer Charles Mingus, recorded in November 1960, but not released owing to the closure of Candid Records soon after the recordings were made. Four of the five long tracks presented from this session have never been issued on Candid before. The extended head-arrangement R & R, spotlights urgent Eldridge and a relatively mellow Dolphy in a combination that still sounds strange and wonderful even today. WRAP YOUR TROUBLES is the previously unknown alternate while the beautiful BODY & SOUL is the highspot of this unique and timeless collaboration between Roy Eldridge and the Mingus men.

Limited first press of 500 numbered copies.
