The unlikely trio of Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus and Max
Roach produced this 1962 classic. The original album included
classics like "Solitude" and "Caravan" and introduced several
important new Ellington pieces like "Fleurette Africaine
(African Flower)" and "Wig Wise." Ellington is inspired by his
younger all-stars and turns in an exciting, modern performance.
The CD adds four new tunes and four alternate takes (two of
which have never been issued before) to the original album.
Newly remixed and mastered in 24 bit, this essential classic
sounds better than ever.

What an alliance: a legendary bandleader and composer, a
pioneering bop drummer, and an unclassifiable (and often
prickly) bass behemoth. It's no wonder that the tension between
Duke Ellington, Max Roach, and Charlie Mingus is thick and
extremely tangible, permeating this breathtaking 1962 album
with passion and aggression. On the jagged blues "Very
Special," Ellington establishes a weighty mood while his piano
work almost borders on free jazz. Roach's sticks dance and
prance across every inch of his kit on "A Little Max"; on
"Caravan" he effectively shifts from exotic rhythms to straight
time. Duke's harmonic invention is delicate and mysterious on
"Fleurette Africaine," but simultaneously jarring and cerebral
on the confrontational "Wig Wise." It's hard to believe only
three people are creating the stomping, disjointed monster that
is the title track. Ellington alone emphasizes the beautiful
melodies of the classic ballads "Soltitude" and "Warm Valley,"
but the edge returns when the rhythm section joins him. Mingus,
who actually idolized Ellington, seems to be purposely
agitating the master, almost taunting him. You'd say the
synergy was magical, except that they seem to be working
against each other. --Marc Greilsamer
