porcy62 Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) Japan pressing. I have a huge sweet spot for solo Monk, and Monk's Mood with Trane is best cherry on the cake. Edited March 4, 2020 by porcy62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 First spin for the vinyl version of the set after playing the CDs for several months now. Wow - spacious and crisp sound. Great as the CD version is, this sounds even better to me. Lovely ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 A lesser known album of Mingus from 1965 , a year when he did not record as frequently as in 1964. This is the quintet with Charles McPherson, Lonnie Hillyer , Jakie Byard and Dannie Richmond. Great version of "So long Eric", a fantastic ballad medley and the funny "Cocktails for Two".

Is that the Charles Mingus Records version or a reissue? Spinning this one on Esquire Records. Side 1 has Jai and Kai. Side 2 Bennie Green with strings. Good stuff ! Noticed that the Bennie Green sides were recorded in Chicago - which explains John Malachi on piano. Sonics excellent.

I remember I was the first in school who purchased it. All have listened to "Aghartha" and were "imitating" Miles´ wah wah trumpet sound. And after I had purchased Pangeea some insider told me that "Dark Magus" ist the best. I eventually bought Dark Magus also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 At the time of release only ‘Agharta’ was readily available in the shops over here and ‘Pangaea’ and ‘Magus’ were mythic Japanese beasts. In fact the first time I heard ‘Pangaea’ was on a cutout North American cassette for my car. These days I have them all on vinyl and CD. Talking of Miles - that documentary on TV last night was pretty good, some new to me home movie footage from Corky McCoy. Well worth catching !
