The complete LP – limited edition pressing on 180g vinyl.
The Penguin Guide to Jazz called ‘Mingus Ah Um’, “an extended tribute to ancestors” and awarded it with one of their rare Crown review ratings. It is, in fact, one of Charles Mingus’ most personal albums, and produced a series of songs that have become standards. “Better Git It in Your Soul” is inspired by gospel singing and preaching of the sort that Mingus would have heard as a child growing up in Watts, Los Angeles, California, while “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat” is a reference (by way of his favoured headgear) to saxophonist Lester Young who died shortly before the album was recorded.
