Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 380/500!
Charles Mingus filtered the vibrancy and romance of his hero Duke Ellington's big-band orchestrations into hard-driving bop, leading his own band through a torrid, gospel inspired rave-up ("Better Git It in Your Soul"), a sly protest song ("Fables of Faubus," aimed at Arkansas' segregationist governor), and a mournful elegy ("Goodbye Pork Pie Hat," dedicated to tenor great Lester Young). Ah Um is the place to hear why Mingus deserves a place in any survey of America's greatest composers, regardless of genre. – Rolling Stone
