Our Take

Are you ready to embark on a musical journey with the one and only Charlie Mingus? Strap in, folks, because this album is a wild ride through the twisted, brilliant mind of a jazz genius.

"Four Classic Albums Plus" is a treasure trove of Mingus magic, featuring some of his most iconic works. From the raw, primal energy of "Blues And Roots" to the cool, laid-back vibe of "Mingus Three: Trio," this collection showcases the wide range of Mingus's talent.

But it's not all smooth sailing in Mingus's world. "Jazz Portraits" delves into the darker, more mysterious side of his compositions, while "Jazzical Moods Vol 1" takes us on a whimsical, experimental journey through Mingus's musical mind.

Mingus's music is like a rollercoaster – thrilling, unpredictable, and always keeping you on your toes. His bold, innovative approach to jazz is a breath of fresh air in a genre that can often feel stale and predictable.

So buckle up, dear readers, and let Charlie Mingus take you on a wild ride through the highs and lows of jazz music. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Charles Mingus

Charles Mingus, aka Charlie Mingus, the larger-than-life jazz bassist and composer whose life was as chaotic as his music, was a true force of nature in the world of jazz. Born in 1922 in Nogales, Arizona, Mingus grew up in Watts, California, immersing himself in the vibrant local music scene from a young age. Mingus was a musical genius, known for his innovative approach to jazz that blended elements of bebop, gospel, blues, and classical music. His compositions were complex, often pushing the boundaries of traditional jazz and challenging his fellow musicians to keep up. But Mingus was more than just a talented musician – he was also a larger-than-life personality with a fiery temper and a penchant for theatrics. His live performances were legendary for their unpredictability, with Mingus known to stop mid-song to berate his bandmates or even the audience. Despite his mercurial nature, Mingus was a deeply influential figure in the world of jazz, with his work continuing to inspire musicians to this day. His albums, including "The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady" and "Mingus Ah Um," are considered classics of the genre, showcasing his unique blend of technical prowess and emotional intensity. With his larger-than-life personality and boundary-pushing music, Charlie Mingus will always be remembered as one of the most innovative and influential figures in the history of jazz.
