180 gram exact repro reissue, manufactured by Rhino.
Stunning stuff -- and one of the greatest Charles Mingus albums of all time -- a true treasure recorded in that magical year of 1957, when Mingus was finally finding his strongest voice in modern music! The album's near-perfect from start to finish -- as bold a statement in jazz as anyone might be allowed to make in the late 50s, yet still always focused, driven, and wrapped up with a tremendous sense of energy. The tracks are all quite long -- perfect vehicles for Mingus to reach his full level of expression -- played by a group that includes Curtis Porter on tenor and alto sax, Jimmy Knepper on trombone, Wade Legge on piano, and Dannie Richmond on drums -- making an early appearance in his alliance with Mingus that would last for many many years. Titles include classic versions of "Haitian Fight Song", "Blue Cee", and "Reincarnation Of A Lovebird" -- plus "The Clown", which features a long improvised monologue by Jean Shephard! - Dusty Groove |
