The freshness of a piece like Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus, has the effect of rendering much of what passes for jazz as tedious. The band is small for Mingus, and includes Eric Dolphy on alto saxophone and bass clarinet, Ted Curson on trumpet, and Dannie Richmond on drums. It would be one of Dolphy and Curson's last recording dates with the artist, and they seem determined to go all out for it.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe leader's bass line kicks off \"Folk Forms No. 1,\" followed by Dolphy outlining the melody, and then joined by Curson.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA simple riff develops into a lively New Orleans funeral march that's developed for 12 minutes. \"Original Faubus Fables\" is serious intent a political attack on segregation governor Faubus but Mingus and Richmond's singing is difficult to listen to with a straight face. Still, this doesn't distract from the wonderful music.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTrack List\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSide A:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1.Folk Forms \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2.
