about

Lessons From My Father is an experimental bass piece. I heard the melody in my head and improvised an accompaniment to it and then recorded the original melody after.

Review by Brad Rose / Foxy Digitalis

“Lessons From My Father” is a seven-minute bass experiment that’s visceral and textural. Investigative techniques splice dissonance into something that ultimately ends up rapturous and memorable. The technical ability of Mingus is a marvel, but even more the way he winds those methods into melodic compositions underscored by emotional unrest and agitation is incredible. “Lessons From My Father” opens in chaos, rollicking toward an emotive melody with forward bounce. Sonic patterns feel like coded messages written in a forgotten language so this piece feels ancient and significant. I get lost in the winding paths Mingus follows, but as long as we keep moving, the destination will find us. Tremendous
