Duke Ellington, Max Roach, Charles Mingus - Money Jungle

DUKE, ROACH, AND MINGUS ON THE SAME ALBUM!!?!?!?  I know, I was blown away too.  It's a beautiful album by a trio of some of the most influential jazz musicians of all time.  Released in 1962 when a lot of America was just getting into Bop and when a lot of the old Bop and Hard Bop musicians were starting to venture outwards.  John Coltrane had already released My Favorite Things, the Impulse! albums 1-5 had already been released, Free Jazz, a musical genre term "coined" by the legendary Ornette Coleman had already begun and had began to fizzle out by the time .  These guys were in their second, or in the case of Duke Ellington fourth, decade of jazz innovation.  This was some new ass shit.
