Charles Mingus - Incarnations, Candid Records (2024)
The music Charles Mingus and his group recorded during his landmark 1960 sessions for Candid Records produced three of the most revered jazz albums of the era - INCARNATIONS is a new masterpiece thoughtfully assembled from rare and unreleased material from those sessions that stands proudly in the Mingus canon of masterworks.
All but one of the tracks here are from the November 11th, 1960 sessions Mingus and producer Nate Hentoff put together. The date was split into two halves: one a pure Mingus-led date, featuring a six-piece band that expanded into an octet for two additional tunes, and another, a partial reunion of a collective that had assembled in opposition against George Weinâs Newport Jazz Festival that past July. (That collective, calling themselves The Jazz Artist Guild, would release the album Newport Rebels, on Candid in 1961.)
Of special note here is the one track recorded during the Mingus October 20th 1960 sessions. It is a previously unreleased track titled âAll The Things You Are (All.)â Found on a tape that contained material from both of these fall 1960 dates, the piece has its roots in an Art Tatum rendition of âAll the Things You Are,â which Mingus had recorded before in various settings.
Featuring Booker Ervin, Eric Dolphy, Charles McPherson, Ted Curson Lonnie Hillyer, Roy Eldridge, Jimmy Knepper, Britt Woodman, Tommy Flanagan, Paul Bley, Dannie Richmond and Jo Jones. With audio restored and remastered by Bernie Grundman, and liner notes by Pitchfork and New York Times contributor Hank Shteamer, this album is a must have for any Mingus fan.

Horace Silver - Silverâs Serenade - Blue Note/Tone Poet (2024)
Another excellent choice by the Tone Poets as this 5 track LP of Horace Silver originals hasnât been released on vinyl since the 70âs except for a Japanese reissue in 1993. It was recorded over two days in May 1963 with Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook, Gene Taylor and Roy Brooks who is on fine form especially on 19 Bars.

Mahlerâs Fourth Symphony - Szell/ Cleveland PO, ordered from Amazon US.
Sell didnât record a lot of Mahler, but I donât think that this (1965) CBS recording has ever been bettered in almost 60 years. One that comes close is Bernsteinâs âliveâ Concertgebouw recording, available from Deutsche Grammophon.
@anon70766008 I donât see this on Amazon as a vinyl preorder. Do you have any more details about it. Whoâs doing the reissue?
Same here. Going to be a beautiful release 
To JDP and steviebee
If you mean the Mahler 4, I found it on the US Amazon site, with catalogue number 61056, and an Impressionist-looking picture of water lillies on the front cover. Very pricy ($130), so this may have been new old stock, and I lucked on the last one.
I wouldnât pay that sort of price for many LPs, but I had this on an old German-pressed CBS vinyl record with a bright red cover years ago, and it was one of my very favourite Mahler recordings.
