Charles Mingus

Jazz Album Review: “Charles Mingus Trio” — One Kind of Masterpiece

Even without the new takes, this Rhino reissue would be welcome: Mingus Three is to my mind one of the great trio albums.

Album Review: “Mingus: The Lost Album from Ronnie Scott’s” — A Rich Centennial Treat

The centenary of bassist/composer Charles Mingus’ birthday is days away and I am listening to the beautifully packaged and processed and richly annotated 3 lps of Mingus’s Lost Album, recorded live at Ronnie Scott’s London club in 1972.

Jazz Album Review: “Mingus at Carnegie Hall” — A Deluxe Edition of a Wondrous Evening

This re-release features 72 minutes of unreleased music. Nearly every track on the two-hour set pushes the 20-minute range, with results more exhilarating than exhausting.
