Free Music Review: Mingus' second late-career milestone
Hit: 4 Stars
So yes, Changes Two is about as good as Changes One. Which means, "An excellent album, even if it's not in the top class of Mingus albums". There's not really a bad song on this album (though the vocal version of "Duke Ellington's Sound of Love" is nice but needless), but the only song saving it from 3.5 stars is "Orange Was the Color of Her Dress, Then Blue Silk", which messes with your head with an ever-shifting arrangement. I actually think this was the first studio version ever released of "Dress" - a live favorite dating back to the '60s - and it's really worth hearing. Most the rest is pretty good, like the swinging "Free Cell Block F, 'Tis Nazi U.S.A.", the lively bop song "Black Bats and Poles", and the eerie, lingering closer "For Harry Carney". However, none of these are must-haves, unlike the first two tracks of Changes One, though song-for-song this one has its predecessor beat. We'll call 'em even, then, since while Two is more consistent, One has overall better songs, though also the lone flop of the project. Both discs are close to essential for any self-respecting Mingus collection anyway. Might as well get them both together, you know? In fact, a double-album that contains the best moments of both discs (taking off "Sue's Changes" and the vocal version of "Duke Ellington's Sound of Love")
