Charles Mingus • Three or Four Shades of Blue

 

Review by Stuart Kremsky
In spite of the electric guitars, which don't really fit that well, the title track is one of the more successful Charles Mingus efforts at extended composition. The list of section titles for the work is a valuable document in itself; it includes the "Super Bebop Blues (Check Bird Out)" with George Coleman and the dudes who are advancing group improvisation, while USA press ignores them. And still does. Not his best work, but not without merit.

Crítica de Stuart Kremsky
A pesar de las guitarras eléctricas, que realmente no encajan muy bien, la canción que da título al disco es uno de los esfuerzos más logrados de Charles Mingus en la composición extendida. La lista de títulos de las secciones de la obra es un documento valioso en sí mismo; incluye el "Super Bebop Blues (Check Bird Out)" con George Coleman y los tipos que hacen avanzar la improvisación en grupo, mientras que la prensa USA los ignora. Y todavía lo hace. No es su mejor trabajo, pero no carece de mérito.
