Charles Mingus - Volume 2
Review by David Lorentzen
Volume 2 by Charles Mingus is a jazz album that showcases the legendary bassist's unique style and innovative approach to music. The album features eight tracks, each with its own distinct sound and mood. Mingus' virtuosity on the bass is on full display throughout the album, with his complex and intricate playing serving as the backbone of each composition.
The album opens with "Haitian Fight Song," a powerful and energetic track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Mingus' bass lines are bold and aggressive, driving the song forward with a sense of urgency. Other standout tracks include "Blue Cee," a bluesy number that features Mingus' soulful playing, and "Reincarnation of a Lovebird," a playful tune that showcases the band's improvisational skills.
