" IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO REMAIN INDIFFERENT TO CHARLES MINGUS AND THIS ALBUM SHOWCASES HIS HUGE TALENT AS A WRITER, PIANO AND BASS PLAYER. THIS IS ALSO THE FINAL RECORDING OF ONE OF THE MOST INVENTIVE AND SIGNIFICANT CHAPTERS OF ANY MUSICIAN IN JAZZ HISTORY. UNMISSABLE!"
"THIS 1963 RECORDING IS A MAJOR SHOWCASE OF THE TALENTED CHARLES MINGUS AS A BASSIST, PIANIST, AND WRITER. FROM THE BLUES-PAINTED BASS MOANING THAT OPENS "II BS", TO THE BLAZING FIRE OF "HORA DECUBITIS", THESE TUNES COME FURIOUSLY BARRELING OUT ONE AFTER ANOTHER. SPEED AND DENSITY ASIDE, HOWEVER, THERE IS ALSO MULTICOLOR, LOVELY TUNES LIKE ELLINGTON'S "MOOD INDIGO" AND MINGUS' PAEN TO LESTER YOUNG. MORE THAN ANYTHING, THOUGH, "MINGUS MINGUS MINGUS MINGUS MINGUS" IS A MAJOR DOCUMENT DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF TWO ALTERNATING BIG ENSEMBLES, ANCHORED BY JAKI BYARD ON PIANO AND FRONTED BY A HERD OF HORN PLAYERS, ERIC DOLPHY AND BOOKER ERVIN CHIEF AMONG THEM."
