• Mingus' Best Work

  5 out of 5 stars

  The sound quality on this pressing is way better than I thought it would be, with a fantastic, authentic stereo sound. This album is absolutely brilliant, in my opinion, it's Mingus' best work (he doesn't even play a single note on the bass here); I'm in love with every single track. But wow, Passions of A Man! I'd definitely suggest giving it a listen if you're into it, and make sure to check out the interview with Charles Mingus and the album's producer, Nesuhi Ertegun. You can find it in full on Youtube.

• Mingus Masterpiece Shines

  5 out of 5 stars

  This album is right up there with a Tone Poet release, quality-wise. The main difference is the drum placement - they're positioned towards the rear and left-center of the soundstage, whereas on Tone Poet releases, they're usually in one of the channels. Blue Note sometimes centers the drums, but not on this record. Consequently, the drums have a slightly softer presence. That's not the case with the brass instruments, though. They're placed in the left and right channels and sound incredibly prominent. The loudness level is a bit on the lower side. The piano has a similar tone to Rudy van Gelder's recordings, which tend to be a bit softer. The pressing quality is excellent, but there are a few pops and light clicks in the quieter passages. However, there are also long stretches without any surface noise. As a pressing, I'd rate it 9/10. The performance is flawless, a solid 10/10. So, overall, I'd give this release a 9.5 out of 10. The performance is absolutely phenomenal, and as always with Mingus, there are unique sounds you won't hear anywhere else. This record is definitely worth every penny.

• WaxTimes Delivers Fantastic Sound

  I've got 10 WaxTimes, and this one's fantastic, just like most of them. Not every single one, mind you. But this particular model? It's got a fantastic sound.

• Mingus Wild Stereo Pressing

  5 out of 5 stars

  This pressing is quite decent, I suppose it's the first US stereo release, adore this album, Mingus seems like he's got a wild hair up his ***, disrespectful, and you can't top Rahsaan Roland Kirk... one could picture Mr. Kirk adding to the relaxed vibes and humor of the recording... my copy is in great shape except for a scratch on side two that you can hear during the first track...aaarrrgh... well I have it on CD as well °•°... it's awesome to possess that crisp 60 plus year old white tip-on sleeve as a wonderful keepsake... isn't that what it's all about... commodity fetishism at its finest...

• Mingus' Piano Brilliance

  4 out of 5 stars

  I'm on the same page as everyone else - fantastic tunes, solid recording. Mingus is on piano here, not his usual bass. I'm curious about Doug Watkins' experience - being the bassist for Mingus, the demanding perfectionist.
