This is a wonderful album, and the title track is one of Mingus’s most ambitious and exciting pieces. The ensemble interplay through constantly shifting tempos and dynamics is breathtaking in its fluidity and inventiveness. I still vividly hearing the title track for the first time, aged eighteen, and having my mind utterly blown! However, the recording quality of the entire album is disappointing—and it doesn’t seem to be the fault of any particular pressing or edition. I have several versions of the LP on vinyl and CD, all of which sound a bit muffled and lacking in vividness, space and separation. The original sessions were recorded in mono, and do not compare well with other mono jazz recordings of the same era. I have an ‘electronically reprocessed for stereo’ version of “Pithecanthropus Erectus” on the Atlantic ‘Best of Charles Mingus’ LP, and although it sounds different from the mono version it’s certainly not an improvement on it. Perhaps this is just one of those albums in which the recording process didn’t serve the brilliance of the music as well as it might have done.

I can't imagine that the recording quality was the best for it being released in 1956, but for what it is, this sounds pretty great! Most of the instruments sound nice, but have a dry sound to them, the drums especially. Besides this, the album sounds full and provides pretty awesome music (which always helps). Can't compare to any other pressing, but my ears like what they hear.
