FablesSep 14, 2000
THe recording quality of this is not up the standards set by Mingus' prior Columbia releases, but if you are content to listen to Bird and the Duke, you are used to it, eh?Apart from the sound quality, the playing is super intense and masterful. Mingus, Dolphy(alto), Clifford Jordan (tenor), Jaki Byard (piano), and Danny Richmond (drums)surely strut their stuff, boasting an incredible 40 plus minute rendition of "Fables of Faubus," along with Duke's "Sophisticated Lady," and an obscurity, "ATFW USA." For this period, the REVENGE set is more thorough, but this version of "Fables" is by far superior.
