About this pressing

Released in 1959, Mingus Ah Um is one of the greatest jazz albums ever recorded. Bassist and composer Charles Mingus channels gospel, blues, hard bop, and modern swing into a bold statement of jazz as both art and protest.

The album features a stellar lineup — including Booker Ervin, John Handy, and Jimmy Knepper — delivering fiery solos and soulful ensemble passages. From the joyous swing of Better Git It in Your Soul to the poignant elegy Goodbye Pork Pie Hat (written for Lester Young), Mingus creates music that is deeply personal, politically charged, and musically adventurous.
