Our Take

As I sat down to listen to CHARLES MINGUS' Newport Rebels, I couldn't help but be drawn in by the sheer audacity of Mingus' vision. This album, a collection of live recordings from the Newport Jazz Festival in 1960, is a wild ride from start to finish. Mingus' band, featuring the likes of Eric Dolphy and Booker Ervin, is a force to be reckoned with, tearing through complex arrangements and improvisations with reckless abandon.

From the rollicking opener "Mysterious Blues" to the haunting ballad "Weird Nightmare," Mingus and his crew take the listener on a journey through the highs and lows of jazz music. Mingus' bass playing is as dynamic as ever, anchoring the band's sprawling sound with a sense of purpose and drive.

But it's not just Mingus' own compositions that shine on this album. The bonus tracks, including Charles Mingus Presents and Mingus in Britain, showcase the range and versatility of Mingus' musicianship. Whether he's playing a soulful ballad or a frenetic free jazz freak out, Mingus never fails to captivate the listener with his unique blend of virtuosity and passion.

In short, CHARLES MINGUS' Newport Rebels is a must-listen for any fan of jazz music. It's a testament to Mingus' genius and a reminder of why he remains one of the most influential figures in the history of the genre. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of your favorite drink, and let Mingus take you on a wild ride through the world of jazz. You won't regret it.
