| | Ysabel's Table Dance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | CHARLES MINGUS - "Ysabel's Table Dance" (from the album New Tijuana Moods) Mingus's shot at re-creating his experience south of the border, during a "very blue period" in his life when he was "minus a wife," this is, like much Mingus, alternately riotous and deeply grounded in the blues, and always passionate. |
 | | As his songs frequently did, "Table Dance" alternates between moods. |
 | | The blasting flamenco gives way, after the band seems almost ready to trash the studio a la early Who, to a swinging blues section with solo by altoist Shafi Hadi - which slides almost effortlessly, and completely logically, back to a brief flamenco interlude before the band plays in unison, in blues mode again. |
