Amazon.com essential recording
Bassist Charles Mingus was always ready for a good fight. In the liner notes to this disc, Mingus says he wanted to respond to critics who said he didn't swing enough. And reply he did. Mingus gave whoever these absurd quibblers were some of the most ecstatic blues ("Moanin'" and "Cryin Blues"), gospel ("Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting"), and Dixieland ("My Jelly Roll Soul") the jazz world has ever heard. Along with his striking original compositions, the instrumental combination in Mingus's nonet remains unconventional: the frontline included four saxophonists and two trombonists without the counterweight of a trumpeter. The leader's sliding-octave bass lines and percussive slaps are totally rollicking, and the wild abandon in the group's playing is irrepressible. --Aaron Cohen

カスタマーレビュー

渋めのサウンド
ミンガスアーアムが好きな人ならこのアルバムもオススメです。
アーアム収録のJELLY ROLLなどさらに生々しいベースが聞けます。
またタイトルは違うけれど
６はmingusmingusmingusmingusmingus７曲目と同じで
聞きけらべるのも面白いです。

全体的に聞きやすくあるけど、渋めのサウンドになっていると思います。
ベースの音が目立っているので、ベースの音を聞きたい人にもいいと思います

重厚、雄々しいミンガス
1959年2月スタジオ録音。重心の低い、雄々しいミンガスが楽しめる1枚。とても力感があり、グングン引き込まれる。この落ち着いた重厚感は、バリトンサックスやトロンボーンの使用も関係しているのかもしれないが、何よりも、この生きにくい現代文明の只中で、頑として立つミンガスの姿勢から発しているのだろう。ブルージーなミンガスを堪能できる作品で、数あるミンガス作品の中でもとても好きな1枚。
