Created in 1952 by bassist Charles Mingus and drummer Max Roach, Debut label was a first attempt by jazz musicians to get their music recorded and released under their own control. It was a short-lived experiment (1952-1957) that produced some memorable works. The vibrant spirit of Mingus lives through this great selection of rare Debut recordings with himself as leader of two different line up (quintet/octet) and as bassist of the Hank Jones Trio and the Thad Jones Quintet.
