In spite of the electric guitars, which don't really fit that well, the title track is one of the more successful
Charles Mingus efforts at extended composition. The list of section titles for the work is a valuable document in itself; it includes the "Super Bebop Blues (Check Bird Out)" with
George Coleman and the dudes who are advancing group improvisation, while USA press ignores them. And still does. Not his best work, but not without merit. ~ Stuart Kremsky
