I gotta agree with him. It's only highly praised because of the people in the line-up. A year or so ago I remember one of the tracks showing up on the blindfold thread, and I was surprised such a mediocre track had such talent on it. It sounds like Mingus and Roach weren't willing to cooperate or something with Ellington having to essentially hold himself back to tell them to stay together or something.

i usually find most of mingus's stuff to be overrated anyway this record or otherwise
Is something bass heavy what you're looking for?

or a piano/bass/drum arrangement?

>no Miles Davis or John Coltrane
Really revs up my parietal lobe

Davis and Coltrane's highly rated stuff is very rightfully highly rated. The fact that you can't discern why one would think this way for Money Jungle vs one of Davis/Coltrane's praised works shows how little you know about jazz and only care about "muh mainstream=entry level=bad" posturing.

Money Jungle is the ultimate hard-bop album while Davis/Coltrane are just random farts that got boring after the first 5 albums.

davis's artistic philosophy was to never stay stagnant, what made you believe he gets boring after five albums? which albums did you even listen to?
your opinion on coltrane is plain old pleb, but saying miles is just some random fart baffles me

>>74217751
not to mention that coltrane lead one of the biggest jazz movements of the 60s

That was me who threw it on there. Probs the title track iirc. Like all the things on the album it's messy af but I love how fucking pissed they all sound at each other.
The story behind MJ really gets me and listening to the tracks chronologically is a cool experience.
It's not any of the guys best playing, but knowing all the context behind the recording makes it a great showcase of how jazz gives you a glimpse into the personalities and feelings of the players in that moment.
