#NowListening to #MingusAtAntibes by #CharlesMingus. My favourite #jazz artists, ranked in order, are likely #Miles, #Mingus, #BillEvans, #LeeMorgan, & #Coltrane. & this is one of my favourite albums by Mingus.
Recorded live, it doesn’t really sound like anything else of that time. Explosive, & yet disciplined; melodic & yet cacophonous: if, in 1960, there was such a thing as jazz-punk, then this is it.
This reissue by #SpeakersCorner is impeccable.
