"…the set is a blast from start to finish and so far I've found it impossible to play a single track without enjoying the full set. And whilst it'll never be the classic that its predecessor has become, this remains a great example of the genius of Mingus – and in this superb issue a lasting joy." Recording = 9.5/10; Music = 9.5/10 – Dave Davies, Hi-Fi+, Issue 56
Mingus Dynasty, like its predecessor and Columbia companion Mingus Ah Um, was recorded in 1959, a watershed year for the insuperable, eruptive bassist-composer Charles Mingus. Leading what amounted to a repertory company comprising some of New York's best and most creative improvisers, Mingus musically challenged two ensembles as they'd never been challenged before. The music herein remains as arresting as the LP's original cover photograph of a mock-imperious Mingus in full Chinese emperor regalia was eye-catching.
