abstract
  • Money Jungle is a studio album by pianist Duke Ellington with bassist Charles Mingus and drummer Max Roach. It was recorded on September 17, 1962 and released in February 1963 by United Artists Jazz. All but one of the compositions were written by Ellington, with four of the seven on the original LP being recorded for the first time on this album. Later releases on CD added eight tracks from the same recording session. The album was reviewed positively at the time of its release and subsequent reviews have remained highly favorable. Negative comments have concentrated on differences in playing style among the three musicians, brought about by the generational gap between Ellington and the others, and an argument that led to Mingus leaving the studio mid-session. The recording has inspired hundreds of musicians, impressed by the freedom of individual expression within a small-group setting.
