| | Charles Mingus Jazzical Moods CD Charles Mingus Discography of CDs
Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1995, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
Originally recorded for Period Records in 1954, this fairly obscure early Charles Mingus session is a collaboration with composer John LaPorta, who is heard on clarinet and alto saxophone. It's a fascinating effort that shows Mingus' awareness of both modern European classical composition and cool jazz.
The set includes a mix of Mingus and LaPorta originals, plus freshly arranged standards like "What Is This Thing Called Love" and "Stormy Weather." Also on hand are the great trumpeter Thad Jones and saxophonist/producer Teo Macero. The album features Mingus' debut on piano.
Recorded in New York, New York in December 1954.
Personnel: Charles Mingus (acoustic bass); John La Porta (alto saxophone); Teo Macero (tenor saxophone); Thad Jones (trumpet); Jackson Wiley (cello); Clem De Rosa (drums).

Nagel-Heyer knows a good thing when it sees or, rather, hears it. The label has brought trombonist Wycliffe Gordon to the studio or captured him at live performances on a number of occasions, either as a leader (as here) or sideman with other Nagel-Heyer jazz artists. Judging from the play list, the objective here is to expand Gordon's musical horizons, at least with ...

So we're told we have to have a bio and it has to be intriguing and tell a story. We know you have to be bored to even read this. Bottom line is that a band at our stage of the game doesn't have much of a story. Moreover, we don't think you give a crap about the fact that Joe was only 16 when he started playing with Jew in a dump of a town in the central valley of California, and they weren't even called The Orphan Project at the time.We don't think you want to know that they recruited Joe's former best friend as their bass player to only have him leave then come back some time later to only leave again, to then come back a third time before Jew and Joe (from here on they will be known as J&J) got smart and kicked him out before they moved to Seattle. You probably don't care that Jew (no matter how much he protests) left Joe holding his drum sticks alone for over a year without warning while he (Jew) moved to Canada, for reasons only J&J know and maybe the other person he moved to Canada for.Ok... fine... we'll talk about it... J&J tried to start this thing called The Orphan Project three times. Going in and out of each others lives only to keep on coming back for more until they finally realized they were heterosexual life partners and just accepted it. In 1999 they exchanged vows, and no matter what ...

801 provided Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera with one of his most intriguing side projects. Although the band only played three gigs in August and September 1976, this album captures a night when everything fell right into place musically. That should only be expected with names like Eno and Simon Phillips in the lineup. (Still, the lesser-known players -- bassist Bill MacCormick, keyboardist Francis Monkman, and slide guitarist Lloyd Watson -- are in exemplary form, too.) The repertoire is boldly diverse, opening with "Lagrima," a crunchy solo guitar piece from Manzanera. Then the band undertakes a spacey but smoldering version of "Tomorrow Never Knows"; it's definitely among the cleverest of Beatles covers. Then it's on to crisp jazz-rock ("East of Asteroid"), atmospheric psych-pop ("Rongwrong"), and Eno's tape manipulation showcase, "Sombre Reptiles." And that's only the first five songs. The rest of the gig is no less audacious, with no less than three Eno songs -- including a frenetic "Baby's on Fire," "Third Uncle," and "Miss Shapiro"'s dense, syllable-packed verbal gymnastics. There's another unlikely cover of the Kinks' "You Really Got Me," while Manzanera turns in another typically gutsy instrumental performance on "Diamond Head." This album marks probably one of the last times that Eno rocked out in such an unself-consciously fun fashion, but that's not the only reason to buy it: 801 Live is a cohesive document of an unlikely crew who had fun and took chances. Listeners will never know what else they might have done if their schedules had been less crowded, but this album's a good reminder. ~ Ralph Heibutzki
