Boppy jazz buoyed by Mingus's driving bass, sounding mostly upbeat. The exception, and most noteworthy track is A Foggy Day, creating a cityscape of honks, foghorns, whistles, and squeals out of horn sounds - a rather nice trick that evokes chaos and unease and now sounds well ahead of its time.
Not much fun to actually listen to though. So it goes with experimental music, in rock and jazz alike.
The highlight, unsurprisingly, is the man with his name on the record, and the bass is expressive, nuanced and impossibly deft, rewarding close listening. Nice enough record from a genre that I make no secret of knowing fuckall about 3.5/5
