{"product_id":"charlie-mingus-tijuana-moods-lp-vinyl","title":"Charlie Mingus – Tijuana Moods (LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded in 1957 but shelved for years before its eventual release, Tijuana Moods captures Mingus drawing directly from a trip to Tijuana, where he absorbed the sounds of street musicians, castanets, and the raw energy of the bullfighting atmosphere. The result is one of the most distinctive fusions in his catalog, sitting apart from his better-known large ensemble works while showcasing the same compositional fearlessness that defined his entire career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen this LP was released in 1962, it was honoured with the maximum number of stars that Downbeat, the most famous of all jazz magazines, could award. Is there any better proof that the composer and arranger Charlie Mingus was ahead of his time? As a double bassist he was rather less virtuosic than his fellow musicians - and not just on these recordings. However, these five numbers earned every single star of the five they were awarded. They illustrate his masterly handling of Mexican folk music and his skill in integrating it into his jazz. The small ensemble of Clarence Shaw, whom Mingus described as a super-improviser on the trumpet, Jimmy Knepper, a technical ace on the trombone, the legendary tenor saxophone player Shafi Hadi, and his longstanding friend Dannie Richmond on the drums all earn the very highest recognition, even though the sextet of 1963\/64 once more enhanced their creativity in later years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Dizzy Moods (5:45)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Ysabel's Table Dance (10:20)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Tijuana Gift Shop (3:43)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Los Mariachis (The Street Musicians) (10:14)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Flamingo (5:26)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4260019714480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speakers Corner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.4.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48931196272795,"sku":"524643","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-charlie-mingus-tijuana-moods-vinyl-lp-relix.jpg?v=1783484325","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/charlie-mingus-tijuana-moods-lp-vinyl","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
