Mingus, Charles
Mingus Ah Um
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 1995 6-eye 180gm stereo remaster. One of his greatest albums. "Mingus Ah Um" is a jazz album that features bassist and composer Charles Mingus at his creative peak. The album contains 9 tracks, each showcasing Mingus' unique blend of jazz, blues, and gospel influences. The songs range from the upbeat and swinging "Better Get It in Your Soul" to the hauntingly beautiful "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat." Mingus' virtuosic bass playing is prominent throughout the album, but the other musicians in the ensemble also get a chance to shine, including saxophonists John Handy and Booker Ervin, drummer Dannie Richmond, and pianist Horace Parlan. "Mingus Ah Um" is a classic jazz album that showcases the talent and creativity of one of the genre's most iconic figures.
