Charles Mingus • East Coasting

 

Review by Scott Yanow
One of Charles Mingus' lesser-known band sessions, this lyrical set of five originals (plus the standard "Memories of You") features his usual sidemen of the period (trombonist Jimmy Knepper, trumpeter Clarence Shaw, Shafi Hadi on tenor and alto, and drummer Dannie Richmond), along with pianist Bill Evans. The music stretches the boundaries of bop, is never predictable and, even if this is not one of Mingus' more acclaimed dates, it is well worth acquiring for the playing is quite stimulating.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Una de las sesiones de banda menos conocidas de Charles Mingus, este conjunto lírico de cinco originales (más el estándar "Memories of You") presenta a sus acompañantes habituales de la época (el trombonista Jimmy Knepper, el trompetista Clarence Shaw, Shafi Hadi al tenor y alto y el baterista Dannie Richmond), junto con el pianista Bill Evans. La música extiende los límites del bop, nunca es predecible e, incluso si esta no es una de las fechas más aclamadas de Mingus, vale la pena adquirirla porque es bastante estimulante.
