Mingus Ah Um, Mobile Fidelity’s latest Ultradisc One-Step release, like most of the prior One-Steps, the music needs little introduction. If you have any passing interest in jazz music you’ve heard the music countless times. From an audiophile perspective, it’s the best-known Mingus recording because it’s not only a musical masterpiece, but one of the finest jazz recordings made during the golden age of recording. It is limited to 6,000 copies, and it might possibly be sold out by the time this reaches print. If you already have yours, you have arguably the best combination of great music and improvement in sound quality yet released in the One-Step series. If you lingered too long, expect to pay scalper’s prices for second-hand copies.
Mingus’ late 1950’s bands featured the greatest combinations of talent he ever assembled. With John Handy, Booker Ervin and Shafi Hadi on saxophone, Willie Dennis and Jimmy Knepper on trombone, Horace Parlan on piano and Dannie Richmond on drums, Mingus Ah Um Mingus’ amazing mix of genius is topped only by something like his Mingus At Antibes where Eric Dolphy and Ted Curson add an intriguing spark to the mix. Critics have split on rating either Mingus Ah Umor The Black Lady and The Sinner Lady as Mingus’ greatest work as a composer and recording artist. However, Ah Um is a more accessible album than 1963’s Sinner Lady on Impulse Records, and is a significantly better recording, so for audiophiles, this is the one Mingus album in every collection. It’s earthy and swings like crazy, and includes some of Mingus’ best compositions, among them ‘Better Get it in Your Soul’, ‘Goodbye Pork Pie Hat’ and ‘Fables of Faubus’. Mingus’ music from this time period was way ahead of its time. It still sounds surprisingly modern today and will never go the way of Dixieland.
