Argonort - Mingus EP

Review by Dariusz Ghattas

The album "Mingus" by Argonort is a stunning tribute to the legendary jazz musician Charles Mingus. The band's unique blend of jazz, rock, and fusion creates a sound that pays homage to Mingus while also incorporating their own style and flair.

The album opens with the track "Haitian Fight Song," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its powerful and energetic sound. The band's musicianship is on full display throughout the album, with standout performances from the saxophonist and guitarist.

One of the highlights of the album is the track "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat," a beautiful and haunting tribute to Mingus' close friend and collaborator Lester Young. The band's interpretation of the classic tune is both respectful and inventive, showcasing their ability to put their own spin on jazz standards.

"Mingus" is a must-listen for fans of jazz and fusion music. Argonort's tribute to Charles Mingus is a fitting one, and their unique sound makes this album stand out from other Mingus tributes.
