A modern jazz symposium of Music and Poetry with Charlie Mingus
Beskrivning:Titeln ger signaler att detta är något akademiskt, men som vanligt när det handlar om Charles Mingus och hans musik så är det synnerligen jordnära och bluesdränkta kompositioner. Nat Hentoff har skrivit en lång informativ text i häftet. Denna återutgivning har tre bonusspår som inte fanns på original-LP:n.
"Despite its title, this album doesn't contain poetry, nor is it a "symposium." What it does have is a memorable narration by Lonnie Elder on "Scenes in the City" (one of the best collaborations of spoken word and jazz). There are four obscure Charles Mingus compositions for his sextet (which consists of the bassist/leader, trombonist Jimmy Knepper, Shafi Hadi on tenor and alto, either Bill Hardman or Clarence Shaw on trumpet, pianist Horace Parlan, and drummer Dannie Richmond). There are also three previously unreleased performances, including a run-through of Dizzy Gillespie's "Wouldn't You." An excellent set of challenging yet often accessible music."
