Complete – Full Score-Epitaph written for a 31-piece ensemble was the masterwork of composer/bassist Charles Mingus. The extended suite is comprised of multiple movements reflecting a wealth of compositional styles (not just jazz) thatdemonstrate Mingus' invaluable contribution to 20th-century American music. Since its last performance 15 years ago additional movements have been discovered that were originally intended to be a part of the work. This unique500-page score includes these “missing movements” along with historical and program notes. Prepared and edited under the guidance of Gunther Schuller and Sue Mingus it provides a monumental resource for study andanalysis. The first jazz composition of such magnitude ever to be published it is presented in this edition as he left it: a summary work a portrait for all time of his life in music. “I wrote it for my tombstone.”- Charles Mingus
