Our Take

Charles Mingus serves up a heaping helping of soulful goodness on his latest offering, "Blues And Roots." From the moment the needle hits the record, you can feel the raw energy and unbridled passion oozing from every note.

Mingus effortlessly blends the blues with his own unique twist, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh. The arrangements are a masterclass in dynamics, with each instrument being given room to shine while still coming together in perfect harmony.

Tracks like "Moanin'" and "Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting" showcase Mingus' virtuosity as a composer and bandleader, with each musician contributing their own voice to the overall tapestry of sound. The result is a vibrant and infectious collection of songs that will have you tapping your foot and nodding your head in approval.

But it's not all fun and games on "Blues And Roots." Mingus delves into deeper emotional territory on tracks like "E's Flat Ah's Flat Too" and "My Jelly Roll Soul," exploring the darker side of the human experience with honesty and vulnerability.

Overall, "Blues And Roots" is a triumph for Mingus, showcasing his undeniable talent and unimpeachable taste. It's a must-listen for jazz aficionados and music lovers alike, a timeless classic that will surely stand the test of time. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
