███▌ Release ▀ ███
██▓▀ ███
██▓ I have a big name ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ Eric Mingus can certainly claim that in good ▓██
██▓ conscience. But he does not just have a big name, ▓██
██▓ he does it credit. ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ It does not take a jazz connoisseur to associate ▓██
██▓ the name Mingus with one of the greatest bassists ▓██
██▓ and most socially committed musicians in the ▓██
██▓ history of jazz. Eric Jr. shares more with his ▓██
██▓ father, Charles Mingus, than just his physical ▓██
██▓ stature. He also inherited his fatherÆs devotion to ▓██
██▓ music, massive passion, profound connection to the ▓██
██▓ spirit of tradition, disarming sincerity, and a ▓██
██▓ genuine grounding. Musically, however, he goes in a ▓██
██▓ completely different direction. ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ Eric Mingus is a blues singer, but his blues does ▓██
██▓ not evoke the spirit of the cotton fields. Eric ▓██
██▓ Mingus is an urban singer, who unites in his ▓██
██▓ enormous body the entire power and ▓██
██▓ contradictoriness of New York. In his music the ▓██
██▓ Mississippi flows right into the Hudson River. ▓██
██▓ Mingus is a Trojan lamb, behind whose soft facade ▓██
██▓ one would not even sense the concentrated energy if ▓██
██▓ he did not seek a vent for it in singing. Precisely ▓██
██▓ because his respect for tradition is unlimited, he ▓██
██▓ does not imitate but instead gives back from his ▓██
██▓ own perspective what he received from it. HealinÆ ▓██
██▓ Howl is a blues album, but those who slavishly ▓██
██▓ follow the alleged rules of the blues will ▓██
██▓ encounter difficulties after just a few songs. ▓██
██▓ ôBlues for me is more than just a certain rhythm,ö ▓██
██▓ Mingus acknowledges. ôMost of the songs are, ▓██
██▓ however, written in typical blues rhythms. And yet ▓██
██▓ you can always make something completely different ▓██
██▓ out of it. For me, blues can be a poem or a bass ▓██
██▓ line. A feeling that I canÆt put into words, a ▓██
██▓ hunch or a fear. Or simply freedom.ö The poet comes ▓██
██▓ through in this statement. But when he tries to pin ▓██
██▓ down his personal relationship to the blues, Mingus ▓██
██▓ sounds considerably more down-to-earth. ôI have ▓██
██▓ never claimed to be a jazz or blues musician. But I ▓██
██▓ was always heavily influenced by the blues. Even ▓██
██▓ when I wanted to, I could never deny that aspect. ▓██
██▓ But I always look for musicians who donÆt allow ▓██
██▓ themselves to be defined by certain genres.ö ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ Healinæ Howl is Mingusæs most relaxed album thus ▓██
██▓ far. The heavyweight singer gets by without any ▓██
██▓ superfluous avant-garde traits at all, and that is ▓██
██▓ good for the songs. Mingus has left a lot of time ▓██
██▓ for that. But a good song is like a good whiskey. ▓██
██▓ The longer it matures, the better it gets. More ▓██
██▓ convincingly then ever, the human volcano manages ▓██
██▓ to get his emotional outbursts under control. It ▓██
██▓ simmers, boils, and vibrates constantly in his ▓██
██▓ music, but Mingus seems almost like an alchemist of ▓██
██▓ the passions, who deals with spirit and karma like ▓██
██▓ a magician with the elements. ôI do in fact have a ▓██
██▓ problem,ö Mingus says, ôwith controlling my ▓██
██▓ emotions. In some performances I exhaust myself ▓██
██▓ after just two songs. Then my mental power is ▓██
██▓ stronger than my physical power. ItÆs like battling ▓██
██▓ with a dragon. The only way to get control over it ▓██
██▓ is rigorously rehearsing and continually improving ▓██
██▓ my singing.ö ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ Hence the recordings took a long time. Healinæ Howl ▓██
██▓ is not one of those albums recorded in the studio ▓██
██▓ in three days. The album has no defined theme, no ▓██
██▓ central statement, but the main actor is MingusÆs ▓██
██▓ voice. In Healinæ Howl is filled with the not ▓██
██▓ always streamlined and by no means political force ▓██
██▓ of a completely normal life, with its high and low ▓██
██▓ points. ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ For Eric Mingus, this record is in no small measure ▓██
██▓ his constant coming to terms with himself. It is ▓██
██▓ this healinæ howl, which repeatedly grabs hold of ▓██
██▓ this sensitive underdog with full force and drags ▓██
██▓ him back into real life. ôFor me, this record has a ▓██
██▓ logical flow,ö Mingus agrees. ôIt describes certain ▓██
██▓ periods I have gone through in recent years. I ▓██
██▓ started with the recordings quite a while ago. But ▓██
██▓ at some point I stopped making them and even wanted ▓██
██▓ to return the advance. But then I regained ▓██
██▓ confidence, looked through the material, and picked ▓██
██▓ up the thread up again.ö ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ Naturally someone like Eric Mingus is born to a ▓██
██▓ musical career. But Mingus never made it easy on ▓██
██▓ himself. He didnÆt slip into his fatherÆs shoes but ▓██
██▓ pulled on his own boots. He first came to attention ▓██
██▓ in Karen MantlerÆs project My Cat Arnold. On his ▓██
██▓ two solo records, Um . . . Er . . . Uh . . . (2000) ▓██
██▓ and Too Many Bullets . . . Not Enough Soul (2002) ▓██
██▓ he explored a mixture of blues and avant-garde ▓██
██▓ jazz. Yet he was always a storyteller. With the ▓██
██▓ casualness of an earthquake he tells about everyday ▓██
██▓ emotions. Sometimes his short stories are ▓██
██▓ accompanied only by bass. An echo of the glowing ▓██
██▓ core of the earth, inviolable and eternal. His ▓██
██▓ songs are frequently interspersed with spoken word ▓██
██▓ pieces in which MingusÆs vocal cry is manifested so ▓██
██▓ urgently that he sends chills down his listenersÆ ▓██
██▓ backs. ôI always had spoken word pieces on my ▓██
██▓ records. Originally I came from the poetry scene. ▓██
██▓ But to be honest, I donÆt specially like the label ▓██
██▓ æspoken word.Æ We all use spoken words. But I donÆt ▓██
██▓ just talk, I give my words a flow, a rhythm, a ▓██
██▓ melody. They are put together with great care. In ▓██
██▓ essence, itÆs a different kind of song.ö In recent ▓██
██▓ years he has been touring primarily as the singer ▓██
██▓ in Elliott SharpÆs blues guerilla group Terraplane, ▓██
██▓ and its goal-oriented power no doubt left its ▓██
██▓ traces on Healinæ Howl as well. ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ Healinæ Howl is a tasting menu for gourmets of a ▓██
██▓ kind of urban blues whose honesty goes beyond ▓██
██▓ coolness, and which can accept tradition as a ▓██
██▓ perspective on the future. ▓██
