Charles Mingus’ Ah Um (1959) is full of social commentary, humour, and tributes. The music doesn’t follow a path, it clears one. The bass doesn’t support the story, it is the story. Ensemble playing where everyone gets a voice, but no one mistakes who’s in charge. #Mingus #Jazz #Vinyl

Recorded OTD 1959 at Atlantic Studios, 'Blues & Roots' by Charles Mingus, one of the greatest ever jazz albums.
B&R came from an idea of producer Nesuhi Ertegün, who suggested Mingus make a record that was 'a barrage of soul music: churchy, blues, swinging, earthy.'

‘ Mingus Ah Um’
‘Better Git It in Your Soul’ has to be one the greatest pieces of music ever committed to tape…🔥🎷

Charles Mingus 'The Clown'
Fiery, emotional jazz with teeth. From the defiant 'Haitian Fight Song' to the surreal title track’s spoken narration, Mingus blends humour, anger, & brilliance. Early proof of a true original. 🔥

Remembering one of my musical heroes, Charles Mingus, who passed way 47 years ago yesterday. This groundbreaking 1956 LP "Pithecanthropus Erectus" was out of print for decades. I scored this essentially mint original in a trade at Tunnel Records (so it still cost something but nowhere near what it would have if I bought it outright). A brilliant sounding unicorn I'm grateful to have in my collection.

On Sunday I visited The Plastic Pancake and saw some tasty goodies I really wanted. Today I brought down discs to trade, scoring my treats. First up: an original first press mono copy of Charles Mingus' 1960 LP Blues & Roots. I have a later stereo copy as well on the split blue-green label, but this "bullseye" label is super groovy so I'm pleased. Sounds great!

Yesterday we saw a wonderful film starring Brendan Fraser called "Rental Family" beautifully filmed in Japan and with a storyline that surprises and charms. No spoilers here. But... there is one scene where Fraser is meeting with an 80 year old forgotten actor and is looking at his vinyl collection, pulling out this Charles Mingus album. The actor comes to life seeing Fraser holding the Mingus album, launching into a rejoicing rant over the freedom of jazz. I was so pleased by this moment, I knew I had to break out my copy to kickstart my day today. I just realized this is an unusual edition: a 1964 German pressing (which came housed in a standard US sleeve according to Discogs). Can't remember where I got this but I suspect the NY address sticker on the label of a military person probably bought it while serving overseas.

Stepping up energy w/ this 1985 OJC copy of Paul Bley's 1954 first on Charles Mingus' Debut Records label. Super elusive to find the original 10-inch, I'm more than thrilled as this adds "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town." Yes, #Mingus and Art #Blakey playing an Xmas tune! #musicsky #jazzsky #jazz

Sometimes music playing in the background perks up my ear "What's This?!" #Mingus Plays Piano is what's what.
Recorded at Atlantic Studios OTD in 1961, 'Oh Yeah' by Charles Mingus. The record finds Mingus playing piano rather than bass, features Roland Kirk and includes great blues such as 'Devil Woman' and 'Oh Lord Don't Let Them Drop That Atomic Bomb on Me.' Classic.
