Synopsis

Album Description
Digitally remastered 50th Anniversary edition of one of Mingus' finest albums featuring one bonus track: 'A Colloquial Dream (Scenes In The City)'. Tijuana Moods is a boisterous, swinging suite of songs that meld Bebop with the tequila haze of nightclubs, a flamenco striptease, serenading mariachis and the glare of the Mexican sun in the hedonist milieu of the border town.

"one of Mingus's best, to be sure, which means, of course, that it's one of the best in the history of American music. a bona fide classic, there's not much that I could say about Tijuana Moods that hasn't already been said elsewhere by other far more gifted critics than myself. at any rate, Shafi Hadi's alto and tenor work with Mingus, for one, was never better than it was on this session. worth owning in any release, but if you can track either down new and at a reasonable price, spring for the single disc or double disc RCA/Bluebird reissues from 1996 and 2001 which feature alternate takes of the whole session. while all these additional performances make for great listening, the composite alternate of Ysabel's Table Dance, in particular, is simply stunning, if not possibly superior to the master. buy and enjoy."
