In my opinion, Eddie Henderson’s realization is amazing, heavily influenced by miles davis’s works; with immaculate percussion & funky playing throughout the album. Especially great if you like jazz fusion/funk. Excellent the whole way through. Certainly, one of the best works of jazz fusion, in my opinion.

Personnel:

  • Eddie Henderson - trumpet, flugelhorn, cornet
  • Bennie Maupin - bass clarinet, flute, alto flute, tenor saxophone
  • Herbie Hancock - electric piano
  • Patrick Gleeson - synthesizer, organ
  • Buster Williams - bass, electric bass
  • Billy Hart - drums, percussion
  • Lenny White - drums

    Charles Mingus - Mingus Plays Piano

    The album is notable for Mingus’s departure from his usual role as composer and double-bassist in ensemble recordings, instead playing piano without any additional musicians.

    And it’s all improvised.
