When this LP was released in 1962, it was honoured
with the maximum number of stars that Downbeat,
the most famous of all jazz magazines, could
award. And nota bene the recordings were already
five years old! Is there any better proof that the
composer and arranger Charlie Mingus was ahead of
his time? As a double bassist he was rather less
virtuosic than his fellow musicians ? and not just
on these recordings. However, these five numbers
earned every single star of the five they were
awarded. They illustrate his masterly handling of
Mexican folk music and his skill in integrating it
into his jazz. The small ensemble of Clarence
Shaw, whom Mingus described as a super-improviser
on the trumpet, Jimmy Knepper, a technical ace on
the trombone, the legendary tenor saxophone player
Shafi Hadi, and his longstanding friend Dannie
Richmond on the drums all earn the very highest
recognition, even though the sextet of 1963/64
once more enhanced their creativity in later
years.
No record collection is complete without the
present highlight. Grab this opportunity to close
the gap on your shelf, especially since these
recorded jewels have an unusually good sound.
