For bassist/composer Charles Mingus, many of the leading edge trends of the late '50s-early '60s did not significantly alter his musical outlook--an outlook he had been nurturing since the 1940s when he first made his mark as Baron Mingus. "Mingus, The Composer" was Charlie Parker's affectionate commission for the Californian bassist, who first made waves with "Mingus Fingers" for Lionel Hampton's big band in 1948. As a result, when Miles came along with fresh notions of modality, Mingus could point to his own decade-long work with pedal point. Likewise, when Ornette Coleman introduced his free form, non-chordal approach to blues and modern jazz, Mingus responded with his legendary Booker Ervin/Eric Dolphy/Ted Curson/Dannie Richmond ensemble (MINGUS AT ANTIBES), extending on ideas he'd been developing for years ("Pithecanthropus Erectus").
Part of what makes MINGUS MINGUS MINGUS MINGUS MINGUS such a rich, enduring, listening experience is in the way it delineates the major themes and streams in Mingus' writing, and all of his idiomatic gestures and tonal colors. The rough-hewn polyphony of "II B.S." (a kissing cousin of "Haitian Fight Song") is driven along by the composer's indomitable, thrusting bass line, reflecting the experience of early New Orleans ensembles. Multiple voices syncopate to create a rich melodic fabric and ferocious rhythmic intensity, spotlighting the sanctified tenor voice of Booker Ervin. On his own "I X Love" and a brilliant cover of Ellington's "Mood Indigo," Mingus displays a genius for film noir textures and elaborate timbral contrasts worthy of the Duke.
"Celia" also begins with Ellingtonian plumage, but in its use of contrasting tempos and wildly divergent reed and ...

Howard Levy - piano, harmonica; Larry Gray - double bass; Ernie Adams - drums. Recorded 6/1 and 6/2/2009 at Studiomedia Recording Company, Evanston, IL.REVIEWS:'His McCoy Tyner-like piano work on the compelling 'Howard's F# Blues' that opens the album announces that he is a force to be reckoned with on the keys. Of course, the harp work is stellar - breathtaking at times (listen to him bend the note upward like he is bending a guitar string on his solo on 'Chorinho')! Gray is one of the most melodic and tasteful bass players in the business, while Adams may be the busiest and most in-demand drummer in town, and the recording lovingly captures every nuance clearly. Levy himself is playing better than ever, and on 'Tonight and Tomorrow', Levy and co-producer Nick Eipers have recorded one of Chicago's most important jazz artists in the prime of his career. '-Brad Walseth, JazzChicago,net, November 2009. 'Larry Gray and Ernie Adams are ideal allies to complement Levy's boundless range. As a pianist, his relationship with the instrument is so intimate and playful! Musically, it's a feast. The Latin influences are there in the lovely 'Slanted Samba', 'Chorinho', and 'Aha'; the blues are given an elegant nod in the upbeat 'Howard's F# Blues'; and the power of improvisation flows throughout 'Triosity'. '-Layla Macoran, JazzInsideNY, December 2009. 'When you combine this iconoclastic skill with his energetic yet lyrical approach to improvising, you get a style that has beguiled artists from across the musical spectrum - from newgrass banjoist Bela Fleck to post-bopper Ben Sidran, folkies Steve Goodman and Bonnie Koloc to the Lebanese oud player Rabih Abou-Khalil, Cuban saxist Paquito D'Rivera to 'word jazz' creator Ken Nordine, all of whom have featured Levy's harmonica on their recordings. His harp playing can easily detract from Levy's piano praxis, which he displays on many of the more than 200 recordings he's made. The piano remains his first instrument, and he always greets it like an old friend, embracing it in his lanky limbs and long thin fingers, before putting it through its paces. Levy has technique for miles, matched by a sterling musicianship that lets him blister the ears with rapid-fire runs or soothe the senses with lullaby harmonies. And his piano work, like his repertoire, reflects his unique and wide-ranging set of influences, comprising balkan folk tunes, bluegrass, several Brazilian idioms, klezmer, mainstream jazz, various middle-eastern ...
