Charles Mingus
Pithecanthropus Erectus
An amazing Mingus record – quite possibly one of the best jazz albums ever made... The album unleashes the bold, raw emotion that would drive Mingus firmly into the 60s – a new sense of freedom in music, filled with poetry, anger, joy, and life! The tracks are all quite long – and played by a sharp quintet with Mingus on bass, Jackie McLean on alto sax, JR Monterose on tenor, Mal Waldron on piano, and Willie Jones on drums. Titles include Pithecantrhopus Erectus, \''A Foggy Day\'', Love Chant, and Profile of Jackie. The whole thing bubbles over with an anger and intensity that you hardly find in other Mingus albums, and if you've ever heard a weak Mingus album, and wondered what all the fuss was about, you owe it to yourself to own this one! Must Have!!
