Our Take

Charles Mingus, a man of many talents and eccentricities, graces us with another triumph in his album "Mingus Three." Featuring the incomparable talents of Hampton Hawes on piano and Danny Richmond on drums, this album is a whirlwind of jazz that will leave you breathless.

From the moment you hit play, you are transported to a world where the bass reigns supreme and Mingus is king. The opening track, "Yesterdays," sets the tone with its playful melodies and intricate harmonies that showcase Mingus at his best.

Hawes' piano skills are a perfect complement to Mingus' bass playing, adding layers of complexity and depth to each track. His improvisational skills are truly a sight to behold, taking the listener on a journey through the highs and lows of jazz.

Richmond's drumming is the driving force behind the album, providing a steady heartbeat that propels each song forward. His energy is infectious, and you can't help but tap your foot along to his rhythms.

Overall, "Mingus Three" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. Mingus, Hawes, and Richmond come together to create a masterpiece that is both timeless and innovative. So sit back, relax, and let the music sweep you away on a journey you won't soon forget.
