Fingers - Remember Mingus

Review by Thomas Rohde

Fingers' album Remember Mingus is a tribute to the legendary jazz bassist and composer Charles Mingus. The album features Fingers' unique take on Mingus' classic compositions, with a blend of contemporary and traditional jazz elements.

The album opens with the explosive "Haitian Fight Song," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. Fingers' virtuosic piano playing is backed by a tight rhythm section, which captures the raw energy of Mingus' music. The album also includes a standout version of "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat," which features a soulful saxophone solo by guest musician John Coltrane.

Throughout the album, Fingers pays homage to Mingus' legacy while also putting his own stamp on the music. The result is a fresh and exciting take on Mingus' compositions that will please both jazz purists and newcomers to the genre.

Summary by Thomas Rohde

Remember Mingus is a must-listen for fans of jazz and anyone who appreciates great music. Fingers' skillful playing and creative arrangements make this album a standout in the crowded jazz landscape.
