Product Description

"Changes One" is a captivating jazz album by the legendary bassist and composer Charles Mingus, released in 1974 under the Rhino Atlantic label. This album is a testament to Mingus's innovative spirit and his ability to blend various jazz genres, including hard bop, bebop, free jazz, and cool jazz, into a cohesive and dynamic collection of tracks.

Recorded in December 1974 at the Atlantic Recording Studios in New York City, "Changes One" features a stellar lineup of musicians, including Jack Walrath on trumpet and George Adams on tenor saxophone. The album opens with the powerful and politically charged "Remember Rockefeller at Attica," followed by the introspective "Sue's Changes." The raw energy of "Devil Blues" and the smooth elegance of "Duke Ellington's Sound of Love" round out this impressive set.

Each track on "Changes One" showcases Mingus's unique compositional style and his mastery of the bass. The album's 44-minute runtime is filled with passionate and adventurous performances that highlight the depth and breadth of Mingus's musical vision. Whether you're a longtime fan of Charles Mingus or a newcomer to his work, "Changes One" offers a compelling journey through the world of jazz, demonstrating why Mingus remains one of the most influential figures in the genre.

This 2013 Reissue Remastered LP is pressed on 180g vinyl.

Disjointed Jazz Pressing
3 out of 5 stars

This pressing isn't the best. There are pops and some background noise now and then. The music is mostly fantastic. George Adams' performance on Devil's Blues is truly outstanding, both vocally and on the sax. However, the track that lets this down for me is Sue's Changes. Most of it is alright, but the solos ruin it. It feels like all the musicians are playing different songs, in different keys, with different time signatures. I'm sure there are people who enjoy this, and I appreciate the effort to 'push the envelope'. But for me, it's disjointed, unpleasant, and it really grates on my nerves. I think this is exactly what Mingus intended, but it's just not my cup of tea.

This pressing isn't the best. There are pops and some random background noise here and there. The music is mostly fantastic, though. George Adams really shines on Devil's Blues, both in vocals and sax. But the track that lets this down for me is Sue's Changes. Most of it is alright, but the solos ruin it. It feels like all the musicians are playing different tunes, in different keys, with different time signatures. I'm sure there are folks who enjoy this, and I appreciate the effort to 'push the envelope'. But for me, it's all over the place, unpleasant, and grates on my nerves. I think this is exactly what Mingus aimed for, but it's just not my cup of tea.
