Recorded in jazz's golden year of 1959, Mingus Dynasty is often overshadowed by Mingus Ah Um, but it stands as one of Charles Mingus' most ambitious works. Expanding his regular band with additional players, he pushed his compositions into more intricate territory. With a lineup featuring Richard Williams, Jimmy Knepper, John Handy, Booker Ervin, Roland Hanna, and Dannie Richmond -- plus guests like Benny Golson and Jerome Richardson -- Mingus crafted a dynamic set blending gospel-infused grooves, Ellington tributes, and the sweeping masterpiece "Far Wells, Mill Valley." A daring, essential listen.
