Biography

When driving a band with the double bass, Charles Mingus looked--and was--gigantic, in more ways than one. He had huge creative appetites, at all points touched by gospel's emotive depth, Duke Ellington's orchestral breadth and Mingus' own combination of hard bop, blues, and avant-garde styles. There was no one more powerfully multifaceted than Mingus between the 1950s and 1970s and of his many… Read more in Amazon's Charles Mingus Store

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of Mingus, March 13, 2001

Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

This review is from: New Tijuana Moods (Audio CD)
"Ah Um" is generally cited as Mingus' masterpiece, but for my money, this is it. At the very least, it's one of his most accessible recordings--the one to get if you're even remotely interested in his music and want an introduction. No doubt you'll be won over. On the whole, Mingus' music isn't an "easy" listen, but that's not the case here. Typical of Mingus, he stretches musically, keeping it interesting at all times, yet does so in such a way that is never distracting, always integrated. In other words, he never loses the listener. It all fits. Evidence of a talent that was truly magisterial.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best jazz recording of all time, October 12, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: New Tijuana Moods (Audio CD)
I have been a passionate jazz fan for over 20 years and in my estimation this is the best record I own. I've owned it for fifteen years and still listen to it on a regular basis. It has it all. It's a concept record, it swings, Mingus wrenches emotional solos from his bandmates and the songs are so great you just can't get them out of your head. This is a great record for the novice fan as it will suck you right in to Mingus' world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mingus in his Prime, May 15, 2000
This review is from: New Tijuana Moods (Audio CD)
This music stands the test of time. It's not blues-roots Mingus although it bears his prints - the gradual build-up and combining of separate parts into one giant orgasmic release followed by a dreamy afterglow. The pieces are a varied lot around a central impressionistic theme painting the noise, crowds, dust, and smells with Mingus's signature brush strokes. I was ecstatic when I discovered it was back in print. Like some of Miles's early work, it's one of those you play periodically and are always amazed at how fresh and new it still sounds.
