The moods here are anything but blue – as the group’s got an upbeat, positive way of laying into a tune right from the start – as they take on a range of compositions by Charles Mingus, but all served up in a lean quartet formation that really helps transform the songs! Diego Rivera is often in the lead on tenor, and the rest of the group features Boris Kozlov on bass, Joe Strasser on drums, and Art Hirihara on piano – save for a few tracks where David Kikoski comes in on the keys! If you dig Mingus as much as us, you’ll recognize most of the melodies – but the treatment is nicely fresh, and also not nearly as slavish as some other Mingus-related projects – really breathing new life into songs that include “Reincarnation Of A Lovebird”, “Orange Was The Color Of Her Dress”, “Nostalgia In Times Square”, “Tonight At Noon”, “Better Get It In Your Soul”, and “Pithecathropus Erectus”.
