Charles Mingus - The Clown (1957) 2007 Japan MiniLP, WPCR-25144

Genre: Jazz / Post Bop / Bass | Label: Warner Music Japan

Mingus is a true original, and THE CLOWN is an album on which his genius for melding tradition with experimentation is particularly pronounced. In the stunning "Haitian Fight Song," the track which opens the album, there are strains of indigenous folk styles and church music pastiched with raw-nerve intensity and compositional sophistication. Mingus's bass, in particular, in its strident manipulation of the fretboard and powerful sound, seems to express the emotional ferocity which propels the track.

The mood becomes deceptively more traditional in "Blue Cee," but even here sections are broken up, colored by daring lines and rhythms, shifting and synthesizing stylistic modes. "Reincarnation Of A Lovebird" is Mingus' tribute to Charlie Parker, again employing what seems to be an "old-fashioned" theme which is actually a complex, extended line that flows, loops and reinvents itself., THE CLOWN boasts outstanding compositions, superior musicianship by four members of the artist's Jazz Workshop and what is arguably some of Mingus's best recorded bass work. ?
