NEW LP
CHARLIE MINGUS
MINGUS MOODS
A classic trio session from Charles Mingus ¿ one of the few he ever recorded!
The set's got Mingus working with regular drummer Danny Richmond and pianist Hampton Hawes ¿ an odd choice, but that's what makes the recording so unique.
The album's sort of an east meets west session, with Hawes' incredible piano lines flying over the top, and Mingus' bass coming to the forefront in this nice relaxed trio setting.
The set list includes a mix of originals and standards, with "Back Home Blues", "Summertime", "Dizzy Moods", and "Laura".
