There are a number of reasons why Money Jungle is considered a unique jazz recording. First of all, the album stands out for its superb musical quality. It also marks a very rare trio session in the otherwise prolific discography of Duke Ellington.

The album is best known, however, for being Duke’s only true recorded collaboration with two much younger jazz geniuses: Charles Mingus and Max Roach. To say that they were stars of “modern jazz” in contraposition with Ellington would be nearly an insult.

Duke never ceased to change and grow musically and like all masterpieces, his music always was (and still is) modern.
