Changes Two album for sale Product Description

Changes Two album for sale by Charles Mingus was released Aug 14, 2012 on the Warner Bros. label. Among the best of Mingus' later work, CHANGES TWO (and its companion disc CHANGES ONE, both recorded in a single session) is a compelling journey into the kaleidoscopic world of this genius bassist/composer. Changes Two CD music Recalling Duke Ellington in the ambitious scope of his meticulously crafted arrangements (and Mingus in fact pays tribute to the Duke here with "Duke Ellington's Sound Of Love," including a sensitive vocal performance by Jackie Paris), Mingus also pulls the music into the future. Changes Two buy CD music In this way, he straddles two worlds--the traditional and the avant-garde--translating the essentials and instrumentation of jazz into a modern idiom. Changes Two songs The variety and exploratory breadth of his sensibility are evident from the quick, sunny theme of the album's opener to the morphing, multi-layered sections of "Orange Was The Color Of Her Dress, Then Silk Blue," to the driving, tumbling "Black Bats and Poles," distinguished by outstanding solos. Throughout, one finds a careful sculpting of melodic and textural patterns on piano and horns, held together by the rhythmic complexities of Dannie Richmond's drums and Mingus's bass. Highly recommended, CHANGES TWO (particularly in conjunction with ONE) acts as an excellent introduction to the music of this jazz pioneer. Recorded at Atlantic Recording Studios, New York, on December 27-28 & 30, 1974. Originally released on Atlantic (1678). Includes original relase liner notes by Nat Hentoff. Personnel: Charles Mingus (acoustic bass); George Adams (tenor saxophone); Jack Walrath, Marcus Belgrave (trumpet); Don Pullen (piano); Dannie Richmond (drums). ...See Full Description
