About this product
Alternative Rock-Sounding like a suburban, melodic white-funk-injected version of King Missile's performance art/standup comedy, InchThe DistanceInch became a novelty hit in the fall of 1996, sending Cake's second album, Fashion Nugget, to platinum status. Certainly, InchThe DistanceInch was the only reason Fashion Nugget went platinum, because the remainder of the album is too collegiate and arcane for mainstream music tastes. It isn't because it's obscure or intellectual - it's because the band is smirking. An InchironicInch cover of Gloria Gaynor's InchI Will SurviveInch is the key to the album, sending the signal that Cake consider themselves above everyone else, and nothing is too insignificant to make fun of. And that wouldn't necessarily have been a problem if they had the wit or musical skills that would make their music either funny or listenable. Instead, they wallow in sophomoric jokes that rely on self-consciously elaborate wordplay. Occasionally, their blend of collegiate musical styles - funk, hip-hop, alternative rock - makes the music easy to digest in small doses, such as InchThe Distance,Inch but it isn't varied enough to prevent the album from becoming tedious when played straight through.

![Ethan Philion - Meditations On Mingus - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/30c1fdb8-bc53-4705-9a31-4310831365bc.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
In-demand Chicago bassist Ethan Philion - praised by bass legend Rufus Reid for his Inchwonderful internal pulse,Inch and by The Washington Post for his Inchwell-honed chops and astounding musicalityInch - has long looked to Charles Mingus as a towering role model. Mingus' highly physical bass technique, his up-front communicative style as a bandleader, his interest in blending composition and improvisation, his pursuit of a unified voice in both small and large group settings, and not least of all his uncompromising antiracist politics and the way they manifest throughout his oeuvre these qualities continue to inspire Philion and so many others in the decades following Mingus' untimely death from ALS in 1979, at age 56. // Now, in Mingus' centennial year of 2022, Philion is proud to present Meditations on Mingus, a powerfully swinging and inventive set of Mingus masterworks as arranged by Philion himself and performed by a stellar 10-piece ensemble. InchMy goal was to put together a program of pieces that speak to current events,Inch Philion states. InchThe themes of the songs on the album - racism, prejudice, identity, economic inequality - are all still relevant to the world today. These compositions ask listeners to reflect on humanity's continued capacity for evil, but as Mingus's psychiatrist Edmund Pollock put it, they are also 'a call for acceptance, respect, love, understanding, fellowship, freedom - a plea to change the evil in man and to end hatred.'Inch
