Our Take

Ah, Charles Mingus – the man, the myth, the jazz legend. The Rare Albums Collection is a treasure trove of hidden gems that showcases the sheer genius and innovation of this iconic musician. From the moment you press play, you're transported into Mingus' world of complex compositions and boundary-pushing arrangements.

The album kicks off with the swinging "Mingus Dynasty," a whirlwind of horns and rhythm that sets the tone for what's to come. Tracks like "Reincarnation of a Lovebird" and "Profile of Jackie" show off Mingus' knack for blending bebop with blues, creating a sound that's uniquely his own.

But it's not all about the music – Mingus' personality shines through in every note, his larger-than-life presence filling the room with infectious energy. It's impossible not to tap your foot or nod your head along to the infectious grooves of "The Clown" or "Mingus Ah Um."

The Rare Albums Collection is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado, a snapshot of Mingus at the height of his powers. So, grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let the music take you on a journey through the mind of one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century. Trust me, you won't regret it.
