A historic jazz recording featuring a clash of three giants.
This work showcases the clash of strong individual personalities from Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, and Max Roach.
The instrumentation is a trio consisting of piano, bass, and drums. Ellington's piano is challenged by Mingus's bass and Roach's drums. The album features all original compositions by Ellington, including "Money Jungle" and "Fleurette Africaine." The approach emphasizes the individual skills and improvisation of each musician. The finished product captures the moments when the melodies and rhythms of each instrument clash and harmonize.
