"I recently purchased a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC turntable from you, and I am really impressed with the level of detail and customer service I’ve received so far. The instruction folder is a great touch, and your excellent site gave me tons of info and insight into buying and setting up the turntable. Bravo!" - P. Cuffari
"Wow. I just got the turntable. It is amazing. I love the bags, I love the fact that I got it literally less than 24 hours after ordering, I love the cartoon easy set up pics, the stickers, record cleaner brush, and the sound is great for the money. SOOO Happy!! Thanks guys and gals--you just created a customer for life."- R. Montgomery

POST BOP MASTERPIECE FROM AMERICAN JAZZ LEGEND. Mingus Ah Um was originally recorded in 1959 and drew on the influence of Mingus' musical ancestors. It was the storied bassist's debut for Columbia and he turned in a recording that captured all of his talents. The set is extremely varied, encompassing the spiritual ecstasy of "Better Get It in Your Soul," complete with gospel shouts and the mockery of segregationist Arkansas governor Orval Faubus on "Fables of Faubus" (the censored lyrics can be found on Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus). There's a tribute to the then recently deceased saxophonist Lester Young on the slow moving "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" and the aggressive swing of "Boogie Stop Shuffle." Mingus also offers up nods to jazz greats Duke Ellington and Jelly Roll Morton on their namesake songs. With all that and more, Mingus Ah Um comes the closest to being the definitive Mingus album. Nine tracks in all. Released by Jazz Wax Records on 180 gram virgin vinyl. Recommended.
- limited pressing on virgin vinyl
- 180g vinyl
- newly remastered
- deluxe inner sleeves
- featuring Charles Mingus (b, p) Booker Ervin (t. sax), Shafi Hadi (t. sax), John Handy (a. sax), Willie Dennis (trombone), Jimmy Knepper (trombone), Horace Parlan (p), Dannie Richmond (d)
- music label: Jazz Wax Records 2019
