Charles Mingus has an uncanny ability to offer music that is based on tradition, but always sounds surprisingly original: the freshness of a record like 'Presents Charles Mingus' has the effect of making much of what is commonly referred to as jazz music seem dull. The band is unusually tight for Mingus and includes Eric Dolphy on alto saxophone and bass clarinet, Ted Curson on trumpet and Dannie Richmond on drums. This is one of Dolphy and Curson's last recording dates with Mingus and, perhaps because of this, the two colleagues seem determined to give their leader all they can. Mingus' bass line kicks off 'Folk Forms No. 1', followed by Dolphy outlining the melody, which is joined by Curson. A simple riff develops into a lively, 12-minute, New Orleans-style funeral march. "Original Faubus Fables" represents a serious political attack on Governor Faubus, who was in favour of racial segregation, but Mingus and Richmond's song is so full of irony that one can hardly hold back laughter listening to it. The last two pieces, 'What Love?' and the ironic 'All the Things You Could Be by Now if Sigmund Freud's Wife Was Your Mother', are so much freer than the others that they verge on free jazz. Originally recorded on 20 October 1960 at the Nola Penthouse Studios in Ney York City, 'Presents Charles Mingus' has the great merit of having immortalised the most extraordinary of all the skills of the American double bassist, pianist and composer: the ability to create a perfect cohesion between composition and improvisation.
