Duke Ellington - Money Jungle

About Money Jungle by Duke Ellington Album

1959 collaboration between Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus and Max Roach. It was essentially Ellington's project, who wrote all the material (much of it unrecorded elsewhere though some Ellington standards are also featured) and got the bop rhythm section on board - not without some difficulty and a near-walkout on Mingus's part. The results, however, are stunning, with all three at the top of their game and the group sounding incredibly up-to-date and challenging. The CD reissue uncovered several more tracks that didn't make it onto the original vinyl, mostly blues jams though there is also a feature for Roach's drumming.

- Singular

Money Jungle, Kind of Blue, and Soul Station are my three favorite jazz albums of all time. Listening to Money Jungle makes me think Ellington, Mingus, and Roach were holed up for a couple of days in the studio with either a case of gin or tequila and this is what came out. While Mobley’s Soul Station is lyrical and somewhat subdued, Money Jungle is wild and beautiful.

- WOW

Wow!!!

- A light.

The first time these three legends shared a studio or a song, it was on a Monday, by Tuesday this album had been conceived, born and perfected. Truly amazing.

- Crazy

If you are an Ellington fan (and if you’re not, you don’t enjoy music), this is a revelatory album. His playing is truly an amalgam of vintage and ‘60s near experimental. Not out-there Mingus, but he doesn’t just accompany by any means...
