It took me a while to get use to this album and I remember rating it a 3/5 the first time I heard it but now I like it a lot more. It's hard to describe the music going on during the album but what you'll hear is an orchestra of horns and even Mingus on the piano, which surprised the producer Bob Thiele. Overall it's jazz avante-guard at its best and I wouldn't really recommend it as a first album for new Mingus fans but it's one you'll need in your collection for sure.
