trio

With Dannie Richmond on drums and Hampton Hawes on piano (Sonny Clark plays only on I Can't Get Started) these 1957 NYC recordings represent Mingus' trio lineup at its best. Don't forget this is the year when East Coasting, Tijuana Moon and A Modern Jazz Symposium were released, proving 1957 to be an incredibly inspiring year for the man who reinvented double bass as a front line instrument. Remarkable in the trio formation are Mingus' powerful solos and hectic dialogues with Richmond's drumming. Absolut Jazz!"
