Title: Charles Mingus – Mingus Ah Um
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1959, Jazz, Hard Bop, New York City, NY
Condition: New
Cultural Facts:
Political Science: Mingus was outspoken on race and power; his public clashes and activism made him a rare jazz figure who didn’t “stay in his lane.”
Band Drama: Known for volatile rehearsals and firing musicians on the spot—his bands ran like pressure cookers under a perfectionist leader.
Studio Lore: Early pressings had edits and missing sections; later restorations changed what listeners thought the “real” album even was.
