Mingus Ah Um pops with contagious vibrancy, command, energy, and scale. The bassist’s church-music roots spring to life in the form of blues themes, moaned vocals, spiritual motifs, and preacher-inspired riffs that register with hyper-realistic dimensionality and natural intimacy. Experienced as a seamless whole just as the cigar-chomping composer intended the band enters your listening room, its intertwined assembly of notes, phrases, pauses, shapes, and solos yielding something more music.
