Charles Mingus, one of the most visionary composers and bassists in jazz history, created Shadows as a soundtrack to John Cassavetes' groundbreaking 1959 independent film. Rooted in Hard Bop, the music features a stellar ensemble cast including John Handy on alto saxophone and Dannie Richmond on drums, delivering the dynamic, emotionally rich performances that defined Mingus's legacy.
This 2015 release on the DOXY label brings this historically significant recording back to life on vinyl, making it an essential addition for fans of classic jazz and cinema alike. Standout tracks like "Self Portrait in Three Colors" and "Alice's Wonderland" showcase Mingus's remarkable range as a composer, blending driving swing with moments of introspective beauty.
