The BMM label—highly popular among fans for focusing on jazz and blues, genres that previously lacked many collector’s items—now sees its rare titles reissued as part of the "Necromancer" series, an affordable, officially licensed collection.

Featured here is Charles Mingus, one of the label’s most popular artists. This release captures a live performance in the Netherlands on August 12, 1972, via a clear, stereo soundboard recording. Rather than veering into jazz-rock or fusion, Mingus stays true to his own path, remaining faithful to his classic style while delivering extended improvisations that are an absolute must-hear for any jazz fan. The bonus track features a performance from August 28—just a few days later—with Dexter Gordon joining on tenor saxophone. Be sure to add this to your collection, alongside other Mingus titles previously released by the same label.
