NotesMastered from the Original Master Tapes for Definitive Sound QualityPressed at RTI on MoFi SuperVinyl-Deluxe Collector's Set Includes Opulent Box and Foil-Stamped JacketsBlues- and Gospel-Rooted Jazz Brilliance Sparks with Diversity, Personality, and Freedom'Better Git It in Your Soul' not only serves as the name of the inviting opening track of Mingus Ah Um. It epitomizes the spirit, urgency, freedom, and feel-it-in-your-bones passion of an album that is cited on practically every 'greatest' list assembled and enjoys the rare distinction of wearing a prestigious crown in the Penguin Guide to Jazz and membership in the Grammy Hall of Fame. The vaunted 1959 record stands as an exuberant tribute to the idea (and blueprint-caliber execution) of fully realized musical frameworks serving as launching pads for expressive interactions, responses, exchanges, and improvisations. At the core, personality, character, invention, and color remain paramount.Strictly limited to 6,000 numbered copies and pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl, Mobile Fidelity's ultra-hi-fi UltraDisc One-Step collector's edition box set makes Mingus Ah Um pop with unprecedented vibrancy, command, energy, and scale. The bassist's church-music roots spring to life in the form of blues themes, moaned vocals, spiritual motifs, and preacher-inspired riffs that register with hyperrealistic dimensionality and natural intimacy. Experienced as a seamless whole, the band enters your listening room, it's intertwined assembly of notes, phrases, pauses, shapes, and solos yielding something more than music. What you hear is the formation of aura and atmosphere traditionally only associated with live concerts. As such, the collective's technical acumen lingers not only in the mind, but invigorates the senses.

  • Incredible Sound

    Mingus Ah Um is a classic jazz record and so I’ll say very little about the music itself as it can be readily streamed across platforms. The record itself just sounds incredible. This is, without question, the best sounding record that I’ve ever heard. The separation between instruments, the definition, and the tone is incredibly life like. Listening to it through my mid-range system (Rega P3, Elex-R, and Dynaudio Emit M30) is such a fantastic experience. The record itself is expensive, however, the packaging is very high quality, and the record is immaculately pressed on Supervinyl, centred, and flat. And, typically, this series tends to appreciate in value over time. In summary, this is very expensive, but an immaculately packaged and incredible sounding record.

  • MFSL Charles Mingus Ah Um

    This is a must- have in your collection. I have the regular 33 1/3 version, but this MFSL version was exquisite. The difference is day and night. The cool thing about it, I know for a fact that I can sell it with 100% rate of return.

  • feel-it-in-your-bones passion album, lingers not only in the mind, but invigorates the senses.

    Another awesome pressing by Mobile Fidelity, the highest sonic treatment available in the form of a reissue worthy of its preeminent creative stature.
