    About this album

    The Clown is a searing statement from Charles Mingus, blending fierce post-bop writing with wit, drama and deep blues feeling. Issued in 1957, the album shows Mingus shaping the Charles Mingus Jazz Workshop into a flexible, high-risk ensemble, with the contrast between the turbulent 'Haitian Fight Song' and the title piece’s theatrical edge capturing his range as a composer-bandleader. Heard as part of the run of late-1950s work that secured his reputation, it highlights Mingus’ ability to make small-group jazz feel orchestral, unpredictable and emotionally direct. Its standing has only grown as one of his essential early masterpieces.
