The Good Stuff

Charles Mingus

BLUES & ROOTS

Atlantic Jazz        1959

Notes: " This record is unusual--it presents only one part of my musical world, the Blues.  A year ago, Nesuhi Ertegun suggested that I record an entire Blues album album in the style of Haitian Fight Song, because some people, particularly critics, were saying I didn't swing enough."    😊

DREAMS OF NEW ORLEANS

Chesky Records     2012

Notes:  A world-class trombonist-composer and longstanding member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, under the direction of Jazz Maestro Wynton Marsalis, Wycliffe Gordon has cut a wide stylistic swath on his 20 albums to date.  From Gospel and Southern Blues to J.J. Johnson-inspired hard bop, along with faithful interpretations of Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk classics.  He was recognized by the Jazz Journalist Association as Trombonist of the year for 2012, his seventh time winning that accolade.
