The record
A baritone heavyweight tackles Mingus's book with a septet-plus stacked deep enough to field two bassists, Dannie Richmond keeping the pulse honest throughout. Adams and McPherson dig into the knotty charts with real bite, proof that this material could thrive outside its composer's own bands.
