Mingus is one of those artists where his personality is often more talked about than his music but I think I'll skip the stories and anecdotes and just get straight to the point. Blues & Roots is precisely that, blues and other roots of jazz music. The best track perhaps is Moanin (an original, not a cover of Moanin') but each track is its own beast played with a lot skill and passion. All of them are quite good and a testament of the passion that Mingus had for music. Recommended.
