Our Take

Some albums transport you to a different time and place, and Charles Mingus' "East Coasting" does just that. This clear vinyl edition of the classic jazz album is like a time machine taking you back to the cool vibes of 1950s New York. From the moment the needle drops, you can feel yourself walking down the bustling streets of Manhattan, with Mingus and his band leading the way.

The album kicks off with the playful and upbeat title track, setting the tone for the rest of the record. Mingus' innovative bass playing is on full display, driving the music forward with relentless energy. Tracks like "West Coast Ghost" and "Celia" showcase Mingus' incredible talent as a composer, fusing elements of jazz, blues, and classical music into a seamless and captivating whole.

The real highlight of the album, however, is the 13-minute epic "Reincarnation of a Lovebird". This sprawling masterpiece takes you on a journey through Mingus' vast musical imagination, with each member of the band getting a chance to shine. It's a tour de force of musical creativity that will leave you breathless and wanting more.

Overall, "East Coasting" is a must-have for any jazz aficionado. It's a timeless classic that deserves a place in every music lover's collection. So grab a glass of bourbon, put on your best fedora, and let Charles Mingus take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
