Clown behind him, bassist-composer Charles Mingus reached an early career height in 1959 with Mingus Ah Um, his first album for Columbia. It’s not trivial that roughly half of it was recorded on May 5, the same day that John Coltrane waxed roughly half of Giant Steps for Atlantic. Creative fire and intelligence were in the air, and Mingus’ contribution was as bluesy and timelessly melodic as ever, performed by a eight-piece incarnation of his Jazz Workshop. The abstract cover art of S. Neil Fujita (who also designed Dave Brubeck’s Time Out cover) evoked a modernist mindset well-suited to some of Mingus’ most enduring compositions, including the dark, dissonant ballad “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat,” an implied homage to saxophone great Lester Young (with a John Handy tenor solo that Joni Mitchell later set to words on her album Mingus).
\nWith the Young dedication as well as the multilayered “Open Letter to Duke,” the minor-key uptempo swinger “Bird Calls,” and the playful finale “Jelly Roll,” Mingus seemed to be working out his own place in the jazz pantheon. The result was avant-garde in its way, even if not as conceptually radical as Ornette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz to Come, recorded for Atlantic just two weeks later.
\nMingus’ music conveyed a unique sense of abandon—one hears it in his uninhibited vocal hollers at the outset of “Better Git It in Your Soul.” There’s also an overt connection to the freedom struggle of the time, evident in “Fables of Faubus,” one of jazz’s most celebrated protest songs, which was aimed at the governor of Arkansas in the aftermath of Little Rock's school-integration crisis. (Columbia, however, shied away from including Mingus’ scathing lyrics, which can be heard instead on Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus from 1960 on Candid, under the title “Original Faubus Fables.”)
\nGiven that he produced Mingus Ah Um and Brubeck’s Time Out (and coproduced Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue as well), Teo Macero’s role in the jazz sound of 1959 can’t be overlooked. The splices he used to shorten six of the nine tracks on Mingus Ah Um were predictive of techniques he’d employ 10 years later (to much different ends) on Davis’ Bitches Brew.","short":"Mingus ends the '50s increasingly political and creatively on fire."},"isCompilation":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=9990&salableAdamId=282907091&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$9.99","price":9.99},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=282907091&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"1440769495","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/1440769495?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":1500,"height":1500,"url":"https://is3-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music118/v4/50/c7/a4/50c7a443-567c-7081-c7d5-b4aa80cba8d7/00025218485029.rgb.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.jpeg","bgColor":"151918","textColor1":"ffffff","textColor2":"e8dad1","textColor3":"d0d0d0","textColor4":"beb3ac"},"artistName":"Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Max Roach & Charles Mingus","isSingle":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-quintet-jazz-at-massey-hall-live-remastered/1440769495","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Jazz","Music","Big Band","Bop"],"trackCount":6,"isMasteredForItunes":false,"releaseDate":"1953","name":"The Quintet: Jazz At Massey Hall (Live) [Remastered]","recordLabel":"Fantasy Records","editorialArtwork":{},"copyright":"℗ 2002 Debut Records/Fantasy, Inc.","playParams":{"id":"1440769495","kind":"album"},"isCompilation":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=9990&salableAdamId=1440769495&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$9.99","price":9.99},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=1440769495&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"1443280597","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/1443280597?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":1500,"height":1500,"url":"https://is2-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music118/v4/88/f7/3f/88f73f43-6af0-83c7-b14b-7a31992b9a2a/00602527874401.rgb.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.jpeg","bgColor":"c9c19d","textColor1":"020607","textColor2":"2c1e16","textColor3":"2a2b25","textColor4":"4b3f31"},"artistName":"Charles Mingus","isSingle":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-black-saint-and-the-sinner-lady/1443280597","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Jazz","Music"],"trackCount":4,"isMasteredForItunes":true,"releaseDate":"1963-07-01","name":"The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady","recordLabel":"Verve Reissues","editorialArtwork":{},"copyright":"℗ 2011 The Verve Music Group, a Division of UMG Recordings, Inc.","playParams":{"id":"1443280597","kind":"album"},"editorialNotes":{"standard":"This 1963 effort from Charles Mingus is more of a single song cycle than a standard jazz album. The esteemed bassist/composer saw this composition as a kind of ethnographic ballet, and he filled it with tumultuous mood swings and serene textures. Mingus put together an 11-piece band for the recording session, and the complexities and raw emotions of these arrangements and performances make this one of the finest releases in jazz or any genre. The horn work here is especially vibrant. Charlie Mariano's alto sax and Quentin Jackson's trombone come together like a chorus of urban voices amid the nightlife clamor. This entire album is as evocative and melodic as anything done by Mingus' hero, Duke Ellington, but its wild emotional swells foretell the sounds of more outré jazz musicians like Albert Ayler and late-period John Coltrane.

A landmark recording, this 1953 document of a less-than-packed Toronto concert features the only time these five greats—Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Charlie Mingus, and Max Roach—all recorded together. Things start off with “Perdido,” the classic 1941 composition by Puerto Rican trombonist Juan Tizol. The song was written right around the time bebop was born, and the piece is a great vehicle for the players’ deep sense of swing and improvisatory genius. Gillespie’s “Salt Peanuts,” with its famous hiccupping riff, easily combines humor with intense, high-speed virtuosity. Kern and Hammerstein’s “All the Things You Are” displays the band’s lyrical side, although the song is played at a somewhat brisk tempo. The band is blazing on “Wee (A.K.A.

It’s not trivial that roughly half of it was recorded on May 5, the same day that John Coltrane waxed roughly half of Giant Steps for Atlantic. Creative fire and intelligence were in the air, and Mingus’ contribution was as bluesy and timelessly melodic as ever, performed by a eight-piece incarnation of his Jazz Workshop. The abstract cover art of S. Neil Fujita (who also designed Dave Brubeck’s Time Out cover) evoked a modernist mindset well-suited to some of Mingus’ most enduring compositions, including the dark, dissonant ballad “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat,” an implied homage to saxophone great Lester Young (with a John Handy tenor solo that Joni Mitchell later set to words on her album Mingus).
\nWith the Young dedication as well as the multilayered “Open Letter to Duke,” the minor-key uptempo swinger “Bird Calls,” and the playful finale “Jelly Roll,” Mingus seemed to be working out his own place in the jazz pantheon. The result was avant-garde in its way, even if not as conceptually radical as Ornette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz to Come, recorded for Atlantic just two weeks later.
\nMingus’ music conveyed a unique sense of abandon—one hears it in his uninhibited vocal hollers at the outset of “Better Git It in Your Soul.” There’s also an overt connection to the freedom struggle of the time, evident in “Fables of Faubus,” one of jazz’s most celebrated protest songs, which was aimed at the governor of Arkansas in the aftermath of Little Rock's school-integration crisis. (Columbia, however, shied away from including Mingus’ scathing lyrics, which can be heard instead on Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus from 1960 on Candid, under the title “Original Faubus Fables.”)
\nGiven that he produced Mingus Ah Um and Brubeck’s Time Out (and coproduced Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue as well), Teo Macero’s role in the jazz sound of 1959 can’t be overlooked. The splices he used to shorten six of the nine tracks on Mingus Ah Um were predictive of techniques he’d employ 10 years later (to much different ends) on Davis’ Bitches Brew.","short":"Mingus ends the '50s increasingly political and creatively on fire."},"isCompilation":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=16990&salableAdamId=315947000&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$16.99","price":16.99},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=315947000&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"298673475","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/298673475?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":948,"height":951,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music/47/70/99/mzi.tnxsxduo.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.jpeg","bgColor":"001c10","textColor1":"f7f3f2","textColor2":"fbd6b2","textColor3":"c5c8c4","textColor4":"c9b191"},"artistName":"Charles Mingus","isSingle":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-very-best-of-charles-mingus/298673475","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Jazz","Music","Hard Bop","Avant-Garde Jazz","Classical","Avant-Garde"],"trackCount":11,"isMasteredForItunes":false,"releaseDate":"2001-01-02","name":"The Very Best of Charles Mingus","recordLabel":"Rhino Atlantic","editorialArtwork":{},"copyright":"℗ 2005 Atlantic Recording Corp.
