Review by Jeremy Leal

Unissued Quintets by Charles Mingus is a musical masterpiece that showcases the brilliance of one of jazz's most iconic figures. The album features five previously unreleased tracks, recorded between 1956 and 1961, with a stellar lineup of musicians including Eric Dolphy, Ted Curson, Dannie Richmond, and Booker Ervin.

Throughout the album, Mingus' virtuosity as a bassist and composer is on full display. Each track is a tour de force of complex, dynamic arrangements that push the boundaries of traditional jazz. From the frenetic energy of "Take the A Train" to the haunting melancholy of "All the Things You C-Sharp," Mingus' compositions are a testament to his unparalleled creativity and musical vision.

The musicianship of the quintet is equally impressive. Eric Dolphy's virtuosic playing on alto saxophone, bass clarinet, and flute is particularly noteworthy, adding a layer of complexity and nuance to the already intricate arrangements. The interplay between the musicians is seamless, with each member contributing their own unique voice to the ensemble.
