Artist:Charles Mingus
Song:Open Letter To Duke
Album:Mingus Ah Um
Charles Mingus is known as the greatest bassist in jazz history as well as a tremendous composer and innovator. He was also one of the most colourful characters in jazz. This album was recorded in 1959 and features great performances by Booker Ervin on sax, Horace Parlan on piano & Dannie Richmond on drums. Mingus recorded three albums for Columbia at that time and they have been released in a 3CD box set. Great music from a great band.
