Free Music Review: my current mingus favorite.
Hit: 5 Stars
just the other day i kicked out a humble little review of the mingus album "the black saint and the sinner lady," which i stated might very well be his best recording. well, today i listened to this album (town hall concert) and i'm ready to declare it his best. that's the kind of impressionable knucklehead i am! anyway, the problem (and what a great problem) with mingus recordings is that so many are great; thus a change in the wind might tip you from one favorite to another. but "town hall concert" is truly a classic jazz recording. consisting of only 2 tracks, "so long eric" and "praying with eric" (aka "meditations"), the whole thing runs about 45 glorious minutes. "so long eric," is 17 plus minutes of swinging creativeness. an upbeat piece of music that's loose and powerful and full of energy and joy. "praying with eric," is the more complex composition, with various moods and tempos and textures: it clocks in at 27 and a half minutes. the musicians are all incredible throughout, but it's eric dolphy and clifford jordan's sax playing that really stands out here. mingus gets the emotional best out of these two players, and if you've never heard either of them before, you will want to search out their own recordings after hearing this. an album not to be missed.
