LA RECENSIONE
The quintessential low frequencies. Those that dive deep into the stomach before hitting the head. The dirty and muddy groove of a true genius. Mingus doesn't think. He acts. And jazz is a magnificent negro woman, tired of tenderness, waiting for that thrust that will make her twist over herself in a cry of pleasure.
Beyond any stylistic categorization - bebop? Free? Swing? Blues? Funk?... What? - a gaping, provocative, blasphemous, and erotomaniac music. The precise hits of a heavyweight champion, winning the title. Essential.
