Our Take
CHARLES MINGUS (or Mingus 2.0 as I like to call him) is back with a bang in this reissue of his classic album "Pithecanthropus Erectus (Mono)". This album is a real throwback to a time when jazz was as wild and unpredictable as a night out in Soho. From the first track, "Pithecanthropus Erectus", Mingus grabs you by the ears and doesn't let go. The bass lines are funkier than a skunk on roller skates, and the horns are hotter than a cow in a heatwave. It's no wonder this album is considered a jazz masterpiece. But Mingus isn't just about the music, oh no. His compositions are as complex and layered as a good trifle. Each track is like peeling back the layers of an onion and finding a jazz-loving werewolf underneath. It's that mix of sophistication and raw energy that makes Mingus so special. The reissue itself is a thing of beauty. The mono sound quality is so crisp and clear, it's like Mingus is playing in your living room. And the Atlantic 75 Series packaging is a real treat for jazz fans. It's like opening a Christmas present and finding a saxophone inside (only without the awkward re-gifting). So grab yourself a glass of your finest jazz juice, sit back, and let Charles Mingus take you on a wild ride through the world of "Pithecanthropus Erectus (Mono)". You won't be disappointed.
