Negative Positive
Title: Classic
Review: Charile Mingus could do anything musically: listen to the two Changes Albums or Black Saint Sinner Lady for some of the most complex music anyplace.So it is testimony to this genre that he chose to make Blues and Roots. This is all the blues and gospel music Mingus grew up with, and as advanced as his work got, he always used the rudiments of this album as a cornerstone.Listening, there is lots of handclaps, call and response, and shouting that traces directly back to field hollers that were the sperm and egg of blues and jazz.This is music down to essentials and essential music.
