Title: Mingus to the Fifth Power
Review: This is the place to learn all you need to know, if all you need to know is whether or not to become a Mingus fan. This is the album that hooked me, and I still consider it his best. The compisitions are old, but these revamped versions are definatley the ones to own. With renewed vitality, Mingus turns his standards into a new revelation!Once you're hooked you'll find a wealth of great albums waiting for you, but this is the place to start, it almost seems made to order for an introduction to his genius.And for anyone interested "2BS", a reworked version of "Hatian Fight Song" IS the version heard on those commercials and Oliver Stone's film "U-turn".This is NOT easy listening music, if you're a fan of Kenny G you will probably hate this album, and I'm sure Charles Mingus wouldn't have it any other way.I couldn't hold this album in higher esteem, get it, treasure it, make it a sandwitch before it whips you with a car antenna!
