Our Take

Ah, Mingus. The man, the myth, the legend. Mingus Ah Um (+1 Bonus Track) is an absolute rollercoaster of an album in the absolute best way possible. This reissue on transparent blue vinyl is a visual feast for the eyes and an auditory feast for the ears.

From the moment you drop the needle on this record, you are transported to a world where jazz reigns supreme. Mingus's masterful compositions take you on a journey through swing, bebop, and everything in between. Each track is a masterpiece in its own right, showcasing Mingus's unparalleled skill as a musician and composer.

The bonus track included on this reissue is the cherry on top of an already delicious sundae. It's like getting an extra scoop of your favourite ice cream - you didn't know you needed it, but now you can't imagine life without it.

His albums, such as "Mingus Ah Um" and "The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady," are considered classics of the genre, pushing the boundaries of what jazz could be. With his complex compositions and virtuosic playing, Mingus proved time and time again that he was a true master of his craft. So, if you're looking for music that will challenge and inspire you, look no further than Charles Mingus. With his fearless approach to music and his larger-than-life personality, Mingus is a force to be reckoned with in the world of jazz.
