Jazz / Post-Bop; Progressive Big Band; Avant-Garde Jazz
Recorded: 1989
Musicologist/conductor Gunther Schuller discovered and restored this massive, 130-minute work by the late bassist, then presented it in concert in New York in 1989. Scored for 30-piece jazz orchestra, "Epitaph" is thought by Schuller to have been worked on between 1940 and 1962. Amazingly enough, six of the players specified in the score appear on this recording. Some of the sections are familiar to Mingus fans from small-band recordings, particularly "Better Git It in Your Soul," "Monk, Bunk, & Vice Versa (Osmotin')," and "Peggy's Blue Skylight," and there was an attempt to record this work for United Artists in 1962. Schuller makes a case for this work as a unified, 18-movement work in his extensive notes to this set. There is definite evidence that this is how Mingus himself thought of it that way. There is plenty of great big-band writing here, and some fine soloists, notably Bobby Watson, Randy Brecker, George Adams, and Wynton Marsalis. Schuller says it best in his notes: "This recording, while not the perfect realization of 'Epitaph' -- can that ever be achieved? -- is an enthusiastic, dedicated, loving recreation, which now at last brings Mingus's magnum opus to life." With luck, this release will send people back to his many excellent recordings.
