JamesOne of the great achievements in American music. Mingus blends gospel, blues, swing, bebop, and avant-garde ideas into something uniquely his own. "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" and "Better Get It in Your Soul" alone would justify its reputation. The ensemble playing is astonishingly precise despite its apparent looseness. Few albums feel so personal and expansive at the same time.
