Our Take

Ah, Charles Mingus, the maestro of musical madness, the king of jazz rebellion, the sultan of sonic chaos. His latest release, "Mingus (Opaque Turquoise Vinyl)" is a kaleidoscopic journey through the mind of a genius, a whirlwind of brass and bass, of rhythm and rage.

From the very first note, Mingus grabs you by the ears and drags you into his world, a world of twisted melodies and unexpected harmonies. The title track, "Mingus," is a tour de force of avant-garde jazz, a cacophony of sounds that somehow coalesce into a masterpiece of musical mayhem.

But it's not all chaos and discord on this album. Tracks like "Whispers of Ellington" and "Blue in Green" showcase Mingus's softer side, his ability to weave a tapestry of sound that is as delicate as it is daring.

The real star of the show, however, is Mingus himself. His bass playing is nothing short of extraordinary, a thunderous force of nature that propels each track forward with unstoppable momentum.

In short, "Mingus (Opaque Turquoise Vinyl)" is a must-have for any jazz aficionado, a bold and brilliant work of art that will leave you both exhausted and exhilarated. Mingus may have left us too soon, but his music lives on, a testament to the power of creativity and the eternal spirit of jazz. Dig in, dear reader, and let yourself be carried away by the magic of Mingus.
