Our Take

Charles Mingus' Complete 1960 Nat Hantoff Sessions is a veritable smorgasbord of musical delights. This album is a treasure trove for fans of Mingus, offering up a cornucopia of complex compositions and jaw-dropping improvisations. Mingus, a titan of jazz, is at the peak of his powers on this collection. His bass playing is as thunderous as ever, weaving intricate tapestries of sound that are as awe-inspiring as they are mind-boggling. The sheer virtuosity on display here is enough to make even the most seasoned musician green with envy. But it's not just Mingus who shines on this album. The rest of the band - including such luminaries as Eric Dolphy and Booker Ervin - are equally impressive, each bringing their own unique flavour to the mix. The chemistry between the musicians is palpable, resulting in a series of performances that crackle with energy and excitement. From the bombastic opener "Better Git It in Your Soul" to the hauntingly beautiful "Meditations on Integration," this album is a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Mingus effortlessly shifts between moods and styles, keeping the listener on their toes from start to finish. In short, Charles Mingus' Complete 1960 Nat Hantoff Sessions is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. It's a masterclass in musicality and a testament to the enduring genius of Mingus and his bandmates. Simply put, this album is a revelation.
