INCARNATIONS: Mingus Music from Candid from the Nat Hentoff sessions

RECORDINGS  FROM THE NAT HENTOFF YEARS 
Incarnations - A New Entry In The Charles Mingus Canon

INCARNATIONS is a new masterpiece thoughtfully assembled from rare and unreleased material that stands proudly in the Mingus canon of masterworks. All but one of the tracks here are from the November 11th, 1960 sessions Mingus and producer Nate Hentoff put together.  Of special note here is the one track recorded during the Mingus October 20th, 1960, sessions.  It is a previously unreleased track titled “All The Things You Are (All.)”  Found on a tape that contained material from both of these fall 1960 dates, the piece has its roots in an Art Tatum rendition of “All the Things You Are,” which Mingus had recorded before in various settings.
