Pressed on 180 gram audiophile vinyl; remastered sound; containing the
full-length versions of all 9 songs (over 12 minutes of additional
material).
When driving a band with the upright, or double bass, Charles Mingus
looked -- and was -- gigantic, in more ways than one. He had huge
creative appetites (as well as being hot tempered), creating his own
combination of hard bop, blues, and avant-garde jazz. There was no one
more multi-faceted than Mingus between the 1950s and 1970s and of his
many albums, Mingus Ah Um (1959) is considered to be a jazz
classic. When Columbia first issued this album, 6 of the 9 tracks were
shortened drastically to fit them on the LP. Later reissues (on CD) have
included the tracks in their original full length, but this edition of
the album had not been released on vinyl yet. We are excited to release
the album 50 years after its original conception, as it was intended by
the Angry Man of Jazz himself.
