Me Myself an Eye
by Charles Mingus
Recorded as the legendary bassist was battling ALS and physically unable to play his instrument, he supervised a massive thirty-piece ensemble to execute his final grand compositions. The sessions yield sprawling, aggressively dense big band arrangements that touch upon free jazz chaos and complex, swinging post-bop. The album stands as a breathtakingly powerful, defiant final artistic statement from one of jazz's greatest composers.
