A 51 user average? Are we fucking serious?

This is one of the most beautiful albums that I've heard from Charles Mingus. The pianos do admittedly carry this album as they provide an almost Rachmaninoff-esque beauty and grandiosity, akin to his magnum opus, "The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady".

some mediocre cool jazz from Mingus and Givens, its not bad for a debut though, maybe a little too piano driven
