Our Take

In the realm of jazz, Charles Mingus stands as a colossus, a genre-defying titan whose music defies categorisation. In his latest release, "Shadows," Mingus once again proves why he is a force to be reckoned with.

The album, presented in a stunning clear vinyl numbered edition, is a true masterpiece of Mingus' unique blend of avant-garde jazz and blues influences. From the opening track, "Invisible Lady," to the hauntingly beautiful "Ghosts," Mingus takes listeners on a journey through the shadows of his own mind.

Each track on the album is a sonic masterpiece, with Mingus' virtuosic bass playing taking centre stage. The way he effortlessly weaves in and out of complex time signatures is a sight to behold, a true display of his unrivalled talent.

But it's not just Mingus who shines on this album; his bandmates also deserve recognition for their stellar performances. From the frenetic saxophone solos to the thunderous drumming, every musician on "Shadows" delivers a performance that is nothing short of extraordinary.

In conclusion, "Shadows" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. Mingus' bold experimentation and boundary-pushing creativity make this album a true standout in his already impressive discography. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of your favourite tipple, and let the shadows of Charles Mingus envelop you in their darkly beautiful embrace.
