4.0 out of 5 stars rather good late offering from Mr Mingus 4 May 2007
By Martin Smith VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
This was the first Mingus album I heard and it remains one of my favourites.

It has a big band sound - a massive sound, in fact, and it is mostly scored by the sound of it - no Sun Ra-style mass improvisation here.

Highlights for me are-

"The Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife" which presents stop-start variations and may be familiar to Mingus fans from various compilations.

"Don't be afraid, the clowns afraid too" which begins with swirling circus effects and builds into a heady call-and-response brass theme, typical of Mingus. Somewhere in the middle you get a great little bit of improvised flute that darts between the speakers.

Altogether a great little album and well worth a listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars A much under-rated album 19 Mar 2010
Format:MP3 Download
Mingus was ill when these arrangements were put together. I heard it first on its release and couldn't believe it & I still don't think there is anything like it in jazz history. The band plays its heart out, especially the late Bobby Jones on tenor; simultaneous solos etc. 'Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife', 'Adagio non troppo' and 'The I of Hurricane Sue' are most accessible, and HoboHo is very intense. I haven't tired of listening to this since its release. Mingus' genius fully realised. I've heard that even classically - inclined people are astonished by this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars CM 30 April 2009
By Breeze
Format:Audio CD
This is one of only a few real studio albums Mingus made . The others are live in concert or live in the studio.Anyway this is possibly the apex of his work. The textures are all beautifully realised because, thankfully, he was allowed or could afford the right tools for the job. Should be remastered though I maybe don't want to hear anything that is better than this.
