Money Jungle
Ellington, Duke / Charles Mingus / Max Roach
Presented here is the complete original album Money Jungle (United
Artists UAS 15017), which was the only trio collaboration of Duke
Ellington with Charles Mingus and Max Roach. Both youngsters
greatly admired Duke. Ellington himself briefly featured Roach (in 1950)
and Mingus (in 1953) in his band, and expressed on multiple occasions
his appreciation for Mingus' compositions. Most of the repertoire here was
especially composed for the date, while the only old tunes they recorded
were "Warm Valley," "Caravan," and "Solitude."
There are a number of reasons why Money Jungle is considered a unique
jazz recording. First of all, the album stands out for its superb musical
quality. It also marks a very rare trio session in the otherwise prolific
discography of Duke Ellington. The album is best known, however, for
being Duke's only true recorded collaboration with two much younger
jazz geniuses: Charles Mingus and Max Roach.
