Our Take

Money Jungle, the legendary collaboration between Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, and Max Roach, has finally been reissued on limited edition blue vinyl. You might be thinking, "Blue vinyl? How pretentious!" But fear not, dear reader, for this album is anything but pretentious.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, you're transported to a realm where jazz reigns supreme. Ellington's deft piano playing, Mingus's thunderous bass lines, and Roach's impeccable drumming come together in a cacophony of sound that is both chaotic and beautiful.

Each track on Money Jungle is a journey unto itself, taking the listener on a wild ride through the minds of three musical geniuses. Whether it's the frenetic energy of "Caravan" or the melancholic beauty of "Solitude," this album has something for everyone.

The limited edition blue vinyl adds a touch of class to an already timeless album. It's the perfect addition to any serious jazz collector's library, or even just for someone looking to expand their musical horizons.

So, in conclusion, Money Jungle is a must-have for any fan of jazz or just good music in general. Get your hands on this limited edition reissue and let the magic of Ellington, Mingus, and Roach wash over you like a musical wave of pure bliss. Trust us, you won't regret it.
