Personel Note on Personel
A rare intimate trio setting. Had to call a friend of mine to find out who's on this one. There seems to be a dearth of information on this session. My pal says Hampton Hawes Piano Danny Richmond Drums which sounds correct to me but please correct me if I'm wrong. Pretty straigh ahead with a bluesy flavor to it. Good for those who wish to hear a more stripped down Charles. I saw him once. He had some fingers on him. His compositions and arrangements are his true forte I think so 4 stars. Impossible to give Mr. Mingus anything less than that. He stubbed out cigar butts at 3.5 stars.

charlie mingus "summertime"
though i like some jazz, i am not a big jazz fan, however, i bought this cd on the recommendation of "12 yr old" jazz fan. i must admit that this is a fabulous album.

Charlie Mingus
This is a terrific cd. Charlie Mingus is maybe the greatest jazz bass players ever to play. this is by far one of his greatest cds. The drumming is terrific as is the bass and the rest of the instruments used. Trust me on this cd although I am only 13 I know a lot about jazz music, so if you are a true jazz fan listen to this cd it is a truly great one.
