Charles Mingus' finest recordings of his later period are Changes One andChanges Two, two Atlantic LPs that have been reissued on CD by Rhino. The first volume features four stimulating Mingus originals ("Remember Rockefeller at Attica," "Sue's Changes," "Devil Blues" and "Duke Ellington's Sound of Love") performed by a particularly talented quintet (tenor-saxophonistGeorge Adamswho also sings "Devil Blues," trumpeterJack Walrath, pianistDon Pullen, drummerDannie Richmondand the leader/bassist). The band has the adventurous spirit and chance-taking approach of Charles Mingus' best groups, making this an easily recommended example of the great bandleader's music.
