Our Take

Ah, Money Jungle - the place where Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, and Max Roach come together to create a chaotic masterpiece that will have your ears begging for mercy. This album is a rollercoaster of emotions, blending traditional jazz with experimental elements that will leave you scratching your head in awe.

From the very first note, you can feel the tension between these three musical titans as they push and pull against each other in a battle for dominance. Ellington's elegant piano playing dances around Mingus' thunderous basslines while Roach's explosive drumming adds an unpredictable edge to the mix.

Tracks like "Le Fleurs Africaines" showcase the trio's ability to seamlessly transition from delicate melodies to frenzied cacophony, leaving you breathless and exhilarated. Mingus' compositions on "Money Jungle" and "Wig Wise" provide a sinister atmosphere that haunts your dreams long after the music has stopped playing.

Overall, Money Jungle is a wild ride that will challenge your preconceived notions of what jazz can be. It's a daring and ambitious collaboration that solidifies Ellington, Mingus, and Roach as true musical geniuses. So grab your headphones and prepare yourself for a musical journey like no other - just be sure to hold on tight, because things are about to get wild.
