by Chris May
The Swiss-based ezz-thetics label's Revisited strand of reissues is a jazz connoisseur's dream.

Earlier editions of many of these albums are hard to find and the sound on all of them is substantially ...
Charles Mingus: The Lost Album from Ronnie Scott's
by Mike Jurkovic
After the emotional and economic bankruptcies of the late 1960s that nearly took him out of the picture entirely, 1972 broke well for Charles Mingus.
