The original reel-to-reel tapes used to record the radio broadcasts were tracked down, cleaned and remastered especially for this release. Previously only issued in bootleg form, the recordings enclosed feature Mingus in the midst of a highly creative spell. Alternating between bass and piano during these sets features a rotating band of heavy hitters including Yusef Lateef, Roland Kirk, Jaki Byard, Booker Ervin, Pepper Adams as well as Mingus mainstays Charles McPherson, Dannie Richmond and others. Located in a basement in the Bronx, these incredibly rare recordings are given their best sonic outing since 1962. At the centre of this package is a 44-page book with a foreword from Christian McBride, a highly informative 15,000 word essay from Brian Priestley and a new interview with Charles McPherson, giving context and inside information to the dates and the time. All of this is illustrated with slick design and rare photographs and ephemera throughout. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA1        Nouroog\u003cbr\u003eWritten-By, Composed By – Charles Mingus\u003cbr\u003e    7:39\u003cbr\u003eA2        Ecclusiastics\u003cbr\u003eWritten-By, Composed By – Charles Mingus\u003cbr\u003e    9:24\u003cbr\u003eA3        Hog Callin' Blues\u003cbr\u003eWritten-By, Composed By – Charles Mingus\u003cbr\u003e    3:16\u003cbr\u003eB1        Take The 'A' Train\u003cbr\u003eWritten-By, Composed By – Billy Strayhorn\u003cbr\u003e    10:50\u003cbr\u003eB2        Fables Of Faubus\u003cbr\u003eWritten-By, Composed By – Charles Mingus\u003cbr\u003e    10:56\u003cbr\u003eB3        Eat That Chicken 1\u003cbr\u003eWritten-By, Composed By – Charles Mingus\u003cbr\u003e    2:41\u003cbr\u003eC1        Monk, Funk Or Vice Versa\u003cbr\u003eWritten-By, Composed By – Charles Mingus\u003cbr\u003e    10:44\u003cbr\u003eC2        Oh Lord, Don't Let Them Drop That Atomic Bomb On Me, Drop It On Themselves, Coz They Made It\u003cbr\u003eWritten-By, Composed By – Charles Mingus\u003cbr\u003e    7:43\u003cbr\u003eC3        Eat That Chicken 2\u003cbr\u003eWritten-By, Composed By – Charles Mingus\u003cbr\u003e    2:17\u003cbr\u003eD1        Eat That Chicken 3\u003cbr\u003eWritten-By, Composed By – Charles Mingus\u003cbr\u003e    3:33\u003cbr\u003eD2        Reets And I\u003cbr\u003eWritten-By, Composed By – Benny Harris\u003cbr\u003e    7:02\u003cbr\u003eE1        Monk, Funk Or Vice Versa\u003cbr\u003eWritten-By, Composed By – Charles Mingus\u003cbr\u003e    10:24\u003cbr\u003eE2        Devil Woman\u003cbr\u003eWritten-By, Composed By – Charles Mingus\u003cbr\u003e    9:33\u003cbr\u003eE3        Eat That Chicken 4\u003cbr\u003eWritten-By, Composed By – Charles Mingus\u003cbr\u003e    1:16\u003cbr\u003eF1        Introduction By Symphony Syd     0:32\u003cbr\u003eF2        Peggy's Blue Skylight\u003cbr\u003eWritten-By, Composed By – Charles Mingus\u003cbr\u003e    14:11\u003cbr\u003eF3        Tijuana Table Dance (a.k.a.
