The BMM label—highly popular among fans for focusing on genres like jazz and blues, which at the time had few collector’s items—now sees its rare titles released as part of the "Necromancer" series, a collection of officially licensed, budget-friendly reissues.

This release features a live performance from January 23, 1973, at the renowned Jazz Workshop in Boston, captured via a high-quality soundboard recording. The warm sound quality allows listeners to fully enjoy the artistry of jazz bass giant Charles Mingus. During the 1970s, as the jazz world evolved under the influence of funk and rock, Mingus remained steadfast on his own unique path; this excellent title showcases that uncompromising spirit. It also features the acclaimed Don Pullen on piano.
