Charles Mingus - Mingus Moves download free

Coming up with his new group, Charles Mingus created a wonderful, intensively and haunting record. It opens up with the great Canon, on which Georg Adams and Ronald Hampton blow some amazingly suggestive figures, before drum and bass kick into a tune that could be a missing track of some timewarped Sketches of Spain remain. Opus 4 gets really funky. Moves is a very nice vocal track, floating fragile. Hard to imagine that drummer Dannie Richmond just came back from some exkursions into rock, teasing his kit so gently. Wee follows up with great soli by all, especially Don Pullen on piano. The tempo rises up and down again on this meditative track. Georg Adams brings in the great Flowers for a Lady, another highlight on this platter, that has no fillers, just killers.For my opinion a true masterpiece of sublime beauty, that has a timeless charme. Very relaxed and at the same time forcefully. The quintet does an excellent job on this seven recent tunes.Good chance to get an original copy of this highly recommended Mingus gem.
