  • man, trying to tackle the real book and this bass track is gnarly. mingus is a beast

  • Dukes harmonized melodies are great!

  • This is probably my favorite piano-bass-drums jazz trio album. Even the standards sound incredibly unique and original. What a lineup, too. Mingus and Roach and Duke.  Soooo sick.

  • @Draples No idea, and I'd love to know. Muffled drums? Something non-Western?

  • @themusicman1973 Agree -- the interaction between the bass and piano is amazing, but to my ear, the bass is what takes this song into that unique zone. Call it the Mingusphere.

  • Does any one know what Max is hitting?

  • De lo mejor!

  • Just discovered this album. I must have it.
