Originally issued on vinyl, the ongoing popularity of LP pressings and repressings has ensured the longevity of this format for years to come. Jazz Wax Records. 2010. Review: AH UM: THE SUBLIME CHARLES MINGUS - My favorite Mingus album. I have it both on CD and LP. The CD produces excellent sound; an LP on good vinyl is heart-breaking--achingly beautiful. But the recorded format is less important than having this wonderful work. Whether your choice is CD or LP, get it.Everything we know about Charles Mingus is here First, the recording produces an honest portrait of the man in the first track: "Better Get It In Your Soul." It's over-sized, rollicking, gospel-tinged, barking, filled with celebratory happiness and celestial anger. The only similar vision of the bassist is the one presented in Geoff Dyer's amazing But Beautiful: A Book About Jazz. Then there is the music itself, pieces that ranked Mingus as, I believe, the greatest post-war jazz composer. His feel for themes, color, harmony, the pitch-range of varied instruments is remarkable, and his ability to encompass the entire history of jazz in his compositions is unmatched. His respect for Duke Ellington is well-known, and this recording contains his "Open Letter to Duke" (his moody version of "Mood Indigo" on another album is haunting). Also inimitable is "Theme for Lester Young" and "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat." And for this session, Mingus assembled some of the greatest names in jazz: Jimmy Knepper, Shafi Handi, Booker Ervin, Danny Richmond, John Handy, Horace Parlanare just a few of the usicians. Some came out of Mingus's workshops--the best idea in music--and they came in and out of his session life until his death. But for me, the chance to hear "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" with its transcendent tenor sax solo by John Handy is reason enough to own this recording. --Alan Weitz Review: Jazz greats - Jazz lovers, go and get it, surely top 10 best jazz album ever ## Images ![Mingus Ah Um - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61B6HBRRRJL.jpg) ![Mingus Ah Um - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kVSorgQ-L.jpg) ![Mingus Ah Um - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Z7A6551tL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AH UM: THE SUBLIME CHARLES MINGUS *by A***Z on December 6, 2013* My favorite Mingus album.
