Mingus Ah Um = LP = (LP)
The critics argue whether Ah Um or rather The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is the definitive Mingus album. What is certain is that this recording from 1959 presents a comparatively straightforward bassist Mingus as composer and leader. The individual pieces are very different and yet accessible at any time. With Better Git it in Your Soul, a gospel-inspired piece as opener, Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, a slow obituary of the recently deceased Lester Young, and Fables of Faubus, a musical parody of the Governor of Arkansas, three pieces became jazz classics at once.
