Blue Note producer Michael Cuscuna has done it again. Having uncovered a long-lost Monk/Coltrane Carnegie Hall duo back in 2005, his archival talents return with this monster double-disc set, recorded on March 18, 1964 at Cornell University and only recently found by Mingus' widow Sue Graham. With Eric Dolphy's untimely death mere months away, Cornell 1964 captures Mingus' core workshop, unbeknownst to itself, sending off one of its most distinct and distinguished soloists.
