Mingus Ah Um is considered to be a true Jazz classic. We are excited to release the album 50 years after its original conception, as it was intended by the Angry Man of Jazz himself.
This is vintage late-era Mingus – music that's by turns joyous, ecstatic, furious, and just occasionally tender, as the quintet ricochets between gospel, blues and free jazz. It's also very well recorded.
