Our Take

Jolly good day, dear readers! Today we have the pleasure of diving into the vibrant world of Charles Mingus' Tijuana Moods, now available on royal blue vinyl. This album is a whimsical journey through the effervescent sounds of Tijuana, expertly crafted by the legendary jazz maestro himself.

From the moment the needle hits the record, you are transported to a lively cantina filled with the sounds of trumpets blaring, drums pounding, and guitars strumming. Mingus' bass lines anchor the chaotic energy, giving the music a sense of purpose and direction amidst the madness.

Tracks like "Ysabel's Table Dance" and "Los Mariachis" are a cacophony of sound that somehow manages to coalesce into a beautiful symphony of chaos. Mingus' masterful arrangements showcase his unparalleled skill as a composer and bandleader, creating a musical experience that is both invigorating and immersive.

The royal blue vinyl adds a touch of elegance to the already stellar packaging, making this a must-have for any serious jazz collector. So, grab a glass of tequila, sit back, and let Charles Mingus take you on a wild ride through Tijuana Moods. Cheers to a jazzy good time!

About the artist

Charles Mingus

Roll up, roll up, music lovers! Today we're diving into the chaotic and mesmerising world of the legendary jazz artist, Charles Mingus. This man needs no introduction, but we're going to give him one anyway. Charles Mingus, born in Nogales, Arizona in 1922, was a larger-than-life figure in the world of jazz. Known for his blistering bass skills and avant-garde compositions, Mingus crafted a sound that was as innovative as it was unpredictable. Fusing elements of blues, swing, and free jazz, Mingus was a musical chameleon who refused to be boxed in. But Mingus wasn't just a talented musician – he was a force of nature. With his fiery personality and larger-than-life presence, Mingus was as famous for his onstage antics as he was for his music. From throwing instruments to storming off stage, there was never a dull moment when Mingus was around. Despite his wild side, Mingus was a true genius when it came to music. His albums, such as "Mingus Ah Um" and "The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady," are considered classics of the genre, pushing the boundaries of what jazz could be. With his complex compositions and virtuosic playing, Mingus proved time and time again that he was a true master of his craft. So, if you're looking for music that will challenge and inspire you, look no further than Charles Mingus. With his fearless approach to music and his larger-than-life personality, Mingus is a force to be reckoned with in the world of jazz. So sit back, relax, and let the sounds of Mingus wash over you – you won't be disappointed.
