by Scott YanowA rather conventional Charles Mingus recording, this trio set mostly features pianist Hampton Hawes (along with drummer Dannie Richmond) performing jazz standards and blues along with Mingus's "Dizzy Moods." The music is high-quality bop as one would expect from the talented musicians (Mingus has almost as much solo space as Hawes) and this 1997 CD's contents have been reissued several times through the years.
