Charles Mingus • Debut Rarities, Vol.2

 

Review from AllMusic (by Scott Yanow):
These are early Mingus recordings that emphasize his talents as a bassist. Tracks one through nine match Mingus with pianist Spaulding Givens in a duo setting from 1951, while tracks 10-15 add the drums of Max Roach for trio performances from 1953. The music is tasteful chamber jazz featuring mostly standards plus some originals. Of greatest interest are the two versions of Jeepers Creepers and three interpretations of Gershwin material. Mingus already had a beautiful tone and would evolve greatly during the next decade.

Reseña de AllMusic (por Scott Yanow):
Estas son grabaciones tempranas de Mingus que enfatizan sus talentos como bajista. Las pistas uno a nueve emparejan a Mingus con el pianista Spaulding Givens en un formato de dúo de 1951, mientras que las pistas 10-15 agregan la batería de Max Roach para interpretaciones en trío de 1953. La música es jazz de cámara de buen gusto con principalmente estándares más algunos originales. De mayor interés son las dos versiones de Jeepers Creepers y tres interpretaciones de material de Gershwin. Mingus ya tenía un tono hermoso y evolucionaría enormemente durante la próxima década.
