Originally released in 1957 on the Jubilee label, Mingus Three is one of only two albums led by Charles Mingus in a trio setting, featuring pianist Hampton Hawes and drummer Dannie Richmond. 
 
This remastered release, issued to celebrate the centenary of Mingus' birth, includes a whole extra disc of previously unreleased outtakes from these sessions (recently discovered by chance), as well as liner notes by Charles Mingus’ friend and colleague Sy Johnson. 
 
The greatest bassist leader jazz has ever known, Charles Mingus, with his spirited playing and spontaneity, always kept his ears and fingers on the pulse. “Mingus was something else, man,” Miles Davis wrote in his own book. “A pure genius, I loved him."
