Let My Bloggers Hear Mingus


Charles Mingus - Let My Children Hear Music (1971)

Charles Mingus was arguably the greatest bassist who ever lived. On his deathbed, he declared this album of his, Let My Children Hear Music, his favorite that he ever made. The sweeping big-band doesn't exactly match Mingus' usual leanings - towards straight be-bop in a smaller group, but its cinematic expansion across the whole album is truly remarkable. This is one of my all-time favorite jazz records, and I'll be putting up another Mingus record in the future.
