Mingus at his best

This is possibly one of the all time great jazz albums and a must for any jazz fan. It brings in tones of freeform blended with more traditional styles of jazz, truely pioneering. I rate this up there with Kind of Blue - Miles Davis, Freeform - Donald Byrd, Blue Train - John Coltrane etc

I can not find fault with this composition it has it allRead full review...

Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um

I purchased the album after watching a BBC programme on the emergence of Jazz in the year 1959, which highlighted the album as a highpoint.
There are several outstanding tracks on it but a couple which disappointed. It is the first album by Charles Mingus that I've heard and I would recommend it from the standpoint of it's originality.Read full review...
