Charles Mingus: Let My Children Hear Music LTD

LP Record On the back cover of the album "Let My Children Hear Music", released by Columbia, Charlie Mingus thanks producer Teo Macero for his "tireless efforts in producing the best album I have ever made". Even from his deathbed in Mexico in 1979, he sent a message to Sy Johnson (responsible for many of the arrangements on this album) saying that he loved this LP the most out of his entire career. Although his small-ensemble recordings are usually cited as Mingus's most significant works, this LP belongs at the pinnacle of his output and is in no way inferior to other outstanding large-ensemble recordings, by anyone, including those of Duke Ellington.
