CHARLES MINGUS - TIJUANA MOODS (LP)

Charles Mingus Tijuana Moods on Vinyl LP

Recorded in 1957, but not released until 1962, Tijuana Moods features one of Charles Mingus' greatest groups with Shafi Hadi on alto, Clarence Shaw on trumpet, Jimmy Knepper on trombone and Bill Triglia on piano. Reminiscient of Mingus' late '50s style, the tight solos and incredible rhythms absolutely dominate the extended tracks and it's no surprise that Mingus himself considered it the best recording he ever made.
