Charles Mingus is usually known for his wild,
soulful and avant-garde compositions. 'East
Coasting' is mellow by comparison, but it still
cooks on a musical level. The Mingus touches are
there; the trombone, drummer Danny Richmond and of
course the dark emotional undercurrent looms
large, too. The personnel are all Mingus regulars,
except for pianist Bill Evans, who would not be
described as 'soulful' in the traditional sense,
but his introverted and sensitive style works well
with Mingus's music. His playing on 'West Coast
Ghost' (the album's stand-out track) and 'Celia'
are two examples of Evans' ability to understand
an artist's musical vision and play accordingly in
his own beautifully original style.
'East Coasting' sounds like the prototypical 1950s
jazz recording. It's something one would hear in
an attic converted to a bedroom where an artist or
lonely soul might live. It's what a lot of people
might believe Jazz would or should sound like.
Highly recommended to Jazz lovers and perhaps more
importantly- to young people who have just been
blown away by Kerouac's novel 'On the Road' and
have become interested in exploring Jazz. 'East
Coasting' will allow them to get a taste of lost
creative America. S. Wynn
