"Rocky and soulful."

3 out of 5

James Brown is actually a great performer and his band was incredible on this album. It is a lot of soul and sweet melodies that I didn't particularly felt too fond of, but I do respect his groove and essence. Scored 3 out of 5 on my rating but I'm not sure if they deserve a 4 or not... Maybe I will change this rate in the future, who knows...

"Powerful in soul and technique,"

4 out of 5

Incredible melodies, nice pace and rhythm and darkish atmosphere; this is how I describe this album. Interesting sounds and instrumental interactions helps building a unique, generous Jazz with many elements to analyse and enjoy. Nice work Charles Mingus. "Freewoman and oh" is my favourite.
