Who hasn't got an ancient, worn-out copy of "The Clown" on his shelf, with a tatty cover and torn inner sleeve? Or maybe one of the rare re-releases made of cheap, thin vinyl with dreadful graphic art? And if you haven't heard this gem for a long time, despite the flood of Mingus LPs, CDs and downloads on the market, then you really should seize this opportunity to do so. "The Clown" was, and still is, an absolute must-have for every jazz collector. The small ensemble, only five musicians, came into the New York Atlantic Records studio in March 1957 to record music exclusively composed by the double bassist. Over the next 15 years, three of them were to be heard in numerous concerts with other ensembles. But the original recordings on this LP were the most deeply concentrated, the most versatile, and quite simply the best of all. The more so because the label attached great importance to optimal studio conditions and allowed the instrumentalists plenty of time to make the recordings. In the present new release, "The Clown" can be enjoyed to the full from the very first note of "Haitian Fight Song" up until the words »William Morris Sends Regrets« in the title work. This Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head. More information under http://www.pure-analogue.com. All royalties and mechanical rights have been paid.
Wer hat nicht ein ur-altes, abgenudeltes Exemplar von "The Clown" im Schrank stehen? Das Cover zerfetzt, die Innenhülle zerschlissen? Oder eine der seltenen Wiederveröffentlichungen aus billigem Dünnvinyl mit banaler Covergrafik? Wer außerdem bei den vielen Mingus-LPs, CDs und Downloads diese Kostbarkeit vielleicht seit Ewigkeiten nicht mehr aufgelegt hat, sollte schnell zugreifen! "The Clown" ist und bleibt eine der Muss-Platten in einer Jazz-Sammlung. In kleiner Besetzung, nur zu fünft im März 1957 in New York für Atlantic aufgenommen, enthält die LP ausschließlich Eigenkompositionen des Bassisten. Drei davon sollten die nächsten 15 Jahre in vielen Konzerten in anderen Besetzungen zu hören sein. Aber die Originalaufnahmen auf dieser LP waren und bleiben die intensivsten, die variantenreichsten und einfach die besten. Zumal das Label immer auf gute Studiobedingungen Wert legte und den Musiker Zeit en masse zur Verfügung stellte. So lässt sich "The Clown" in neuer Veröffentlichung vom ersten Ton von "Haitian Fight Song" bis zu »William Morris Sends Regrets« im Titelstück genießen. Diese Speakers Corner Produktion wurde unter Verwendung von analogem Masterband und Mastering 100% rein analog gefertigt. Mehr Informationen unter http://www.pure-analogue.com.
