Description
Charles Mingus’ “Tijuana Moods” (1957) was ahead of its time, a "concept" jazz album in which the great bassist combined improvisation and composition to make a 36-minute suite that still sounds immediate and abrasive. It anticipates both the sophistication of “Kind of Blue” and the rawness of 1960s "new thing", yet it remained unreleased until 1962 while RCA concentrated on Elvis Presley. “Tijuana Moods” comprises two ten-minute tone poems – “Ysabel's Table Dance” and “Los Mariachis” - framed by two idiosyncratic standards (“Dizzy Moods”, adapted from Gillespie's “Woody 'n' You”, and “Flamingo”) with the short but labyrinthine “Tijuana Gift Shop” in the middle. This is jazz composition of the highest order, in which improvisation - wild, controlled, sublime - is an integral part of Mingus's scores, with their complex part-writing, extended harmonies and constant variation of tempo and feel. “Tijuana Moods” looks ahead to Mingus's later masterpiece, “The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady.” Indispensable.
