“First let’s put your minds at ease about that weird title: it’s a
corruption of an imaginary Latin declension (mingus-minga-mingum).
Don’t ask why. It seems to me that Mingus has now completely
found himself, found a personal and vital direction. This is a
consistently exciting and stimulating set. Mingus has something to
say, knows how and through whom to say it, and it is all stated with
communicative authority.” (Leonard Feather) |
