Early-2022 sees the release of a new Charles Mingus-themed album from the US avant double bassist John Hébert who is well-known for his work in the trio of pianist Fred Hersch who indeed reciprocates to join Hébert within the quintet on Sounds of Love. Cult altoist Tim Berne is among the ensemble on the recording which is a live affair recorded in the Swiss city of Lugano in 2013 and which is to be released by the New York indie label Sunnyside. What is streaming so far is a stimulating Hébert piece 'Frivolocity' that was inspired, according to Sunnyside, by the bass line of Mingus piece 'Sue's Changes' first heard on 1975 Atlantic album Changes One. The overall effect of the new piece is radically different (you'd need to be a Sherlock-of-all-Sherlocks of a bass detective to clock this without being told) and includes strong soloing from trumpeter Taylor Ho Bynum plus very stimulating interaction between Bynum and Hersch. The group is completed by drummer Ches Smith. Release date is 14 January.
