Mingus' compositions and arrangements were always extremely focused, assimilating individual spontaneity into a firm consistency of mood, and that approach reaches an ultra-tight zenith on Mingus Ah Um. While there's also a strong case for The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady as his best work overall, it lacks Ah Um's immediate accessibility and brilliantly sculpted individual tunes. It is sometimes claimed that Columbia refused to allow the lyrics to be included on this album, though the liner notes to the 1998 reissue of the album state that the piece started life as an instrumental, and only gained the lyrics later (as can be heard on the 1960 release Presents Charles Mingus).Д¬harles Mingus' debut for Columbia, Mingus Ah Um is a stunning summation of the bassist's talents and probably the best reference point for beginners. Supreme Court rulings (forcing President Eisenhower to send in the National Guard). Faubus (1910вЂ“1994), the Governor of Arkansas infamous for his 1957 stand against integration of Little Rock, Arkansas schools in defiance of U.S.

'Fables of Faubus' is named after Orval E. It was supposed to sound like birds вЂ“ the first part.' 'Bird Calls', in Mingus's own words, was not a reference to bebop saxophonist Charlie 'Bird' Parker: 'It wasn't supposed to sound like Charlie Parker. 'Jelly Roll' is a reference to jazz pioneer and pianist Jelly Roll Morton and features a quote of Sonny Rollins' 'Sonnymoon for Two' during Horace Parlan's piano solo. 'Open Letter to Duke' is a tribute to Duke Ellington, and draws on three of Mingus's earlier pieces ('Nouroog', 'Duke's Choice', and 'Slippers'). 'Self-Portrait in Three Colors' was originally written for John Cassavetes' first film as director, Shadows, but was never used (for budgetary reasons). The origin and nature of 'Boogie Stop Shuffle' is self-explanatory: a twelve-bar blues with four themes and a boogie bass backing that passes from stop time to shuffle and back. '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 favored headgear) to saxophonist Lester Young (who had died shortly before the album was recorded). The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD calls this album 'an extended tribute to ancestors' (and awards it one of their rare crowns), and Mingus's musical forebears figure largely throughout.

The album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2013. It was his first album recorded for Columbia. Mingus Ah Um is a studio album by American jazz musician Charles Mingus, released in October 1959 by Columbia Records.
