Tijuana Moods is back on the site for only the second time in four years, here with solid Double Plus (A++) grades or better on both sides of this vintage RCA pressing
This is Sixties Living Stereo at its best – big, rich and Tubey Magical like you will not believe (particularly on side two)
This is the way it must have sounded in 1957, when legendary RCA engineers Bob Simpson and Ray Hall were sitting behind the board in the New York studios where it was recorded.
5 stars: “Mingus at the time said that this was his greatest recording, and it certainly ranks near the top. The passionate playing, exciting ensembles, and high-quality compositions make this a real gem, and it represents one of Charles Mingus’ finest hours.”
