Charles Mingus - The Clown - Speakers Corner LP

180 Gram Vinyl, Mono

Recorded in New York for Atlantic in 1957, The Clown remains an essential entry in Charles Mingus's catalog. Working with a tight five-piece ensemble, the bassist and composer moves from the surging "Haitian Fight Song" to the spoken-word drama of the title track, with the label affording the musicians the studio time to fully realize his vision. This Speakers Corner reissue returns the album to its original mono format on audiophile 180-gram vinyl.
