Charles Mingus／Pithecanthropus Erectus（Atlantic, 1956）
No one but Charles Mingus can create such strong, self-asserting music.
He perfectly manipulates the hard bop idol Jackie McLean, and even uses the strong-looking tenor player J.R.Monterose.
It is no exaggeration to say that this album is 100% Mingus music juice.
Just listening to this music can make you feel full of energy.
This is the album I want to listen to while drinking whiskey at a hidden bar on a weekday night.
