Moanin' (Mingus)

Composed and arranged by Charles Mingus




Moanin' Charles Mingus (1959)

Charles Mingus, Blues & Roots (1960)
Not to be confused with the Bobby Timmons tune by the same name (recorded the previous year), there's no mistaking Mingus' Moanin' when you hear it--it's pure Mingus! It's from the 1960 album Blues & Roots. Here's the lineup:

Charles Mingus (bass), John Handy, Jackie McLean (alto sax), Booker Ervin (tenor sax), Pepper Adams (baritone sax), Jimmy Knepper, Willie Dennis (trombone), Dannie Richmond (drums), Horace Parlan (piano).

The solos are by Jackie McLean, Pepper Adams, and Booker Ervin.
