This pair of 1960 studio sessions represent some of Charles Mingus' best arrangements. Leading the smaller of two groups, he interpolates "Exactly Like You" into a driving version of "Take The 'A' Train" and adds a soulful blues, "Prayer For Passive Resistance, " both of which feature great solos by tenor saxophonists Booker Ervin, Yusef Lateef and Joe Farrell. A much larger ensemble is utilized on three tracks, including the advanced bop "Mingus Fingus No. 2" and "Bemoanable Lady, " which features a rather strangely conservative alto sax solo by Eric Dolphy. Less successful are Lorraine Curson's vocals on the dissonant "Eclipse" and pulsating "Weird Nightmare." But this reissue, re-released previously under the title "Mingus Revisited, " has received a superb 24-bit remastering and also includes a number of photos from the sessions. — Ken Dryden
