Two rewarding Mingus sessions are on show in this ‘re-issue’ : first his 1957 album released on LP as “Mingus Three” - a trio with Hampton Hawes and Danny Richmond playing 4 standards & 3 originals; and secondly, the 1953 session released as the Paul Bley Trio (his debut album, in fact) with the great Art Blakey on drums - playing 5 standards, 4 originals and a blues.
To this latter session, Gambit have added 4 bonus tracks : 3 previously unissued and one alternate take. Both of these highly satisfying studio sessions were recorded in New York.

Reviews

The Jazz Rag - Nic Jones

The music is entirely worthwhile. Fans of all three musicians will find something to enjoy here.

Jazz Journal - Derek Ansell

If you want to hear some early Mingus bass, transitional Blakey and pre avant-garde Paul Bley, this is as good a place to start as any.
