The Jazz Gods smiled upon the world back in September '62 when Duke Ellington decided to get together with Mingus and Roach to record this beauty. Truly a jazz "supergroup," although I hate that term. Mostly new material was written for the album with the exception of new renditions of Ellington classics "Caravan" and "Solitude." I recently told a friend of the existence of this collaboration and got a head-cocked-to-the-side-raised-eyebrow-"bullshit" look. So here's the proof.
