Plays Charles Mingus

Vinyl LP.

Nära nyskick. LP, Timeless SJP 148 (1980 / 1981). Dannie Richmond var från mitten av 1950-talet Charles Mingus trogne trumslagare. Ja, det lär t o m ha varit Mingus som övertalade Richmond att byta från tenorsax till trummor. När Mingus dog 1979 gjorde Richmond denna skiva med Mingus sista reguljära grupp: Jack Walrath tp, Ricky Ford ts, Bob Neloms p och Cameron Brown som basist. Inspelad i Bologna, Italien."Subtitled "The Last Mingus Band," drummer Dannie Richmond had a rare opportunity to lead a group for this album. He heads what was the final Charles Mingus combo, a quintet with tenor-saxophonist Ricky Ford, trumpeter Jack Walrath, pianist Bob Neloms and bassist Cameron Brown (the latter in Mingus' place). Together they perform spirited versions of five Charles Mingus' compositions along with Sy Johnson's "Wee." Everyone is in fine form and, although one misses Mingus, the music has its exciting moments." (Scott Yanow, allmusic.com)6 spår; speltid 43:28. Vinyl Nära nyskick . Holländsk pressning.
