From the first note of the sax intro, to the latin chords at the end, this song has chills running down my spine for 10 straight minutes.

Had the pleasure of seeing Seamus live with the Mingus Big Band at Yoshi's in Oakland about 15 yrs. ago - unfortunately they didn't play this in their set, but it still was a great set - Seamus could be my favorite "living tenor player" right now - "KEEP ENJOYING THE SOUNDS OF JAZZ"

This is like sitting in a really old jazz club way back when in black and white. Everybody is smoking cigarettes and talking very softly about their life. Everyone is happy. Why can't we go back to those times? Best Mingus song I've heard in years

I have a whole CD full of Mingus solo piano, same feeling. He often played his compositions on the piano,and his men could pick out what they felt. Best tune for me was Jelly Roll with trombone player Jimmy Knepper.

WoW! This is one version I seem to have missed of this song. After reading his autobiorgraphy, ' Beneath the Underdog' I could easily identify with his music and early living enviroment; city of Watts, The nighclubs and Central Avenue in California. It did not matter to me that he had been on the scene a full generation earlier. It was like I was there too. He showed his love and respect for Pres (Lester Young) when he wrote this song and I appreciate Charles Mingus!

Welcome to the world of jazz. It is rich and varied. You will have many years of fascinating exploration. Two "unique and really good jazz" musicians I can highly recommend are Eric Dolphy and Thelonious Monk. Enjoy the journey.

@TheFrenchCharlie Well with your age you sure have a strong relation to music, and alot of experience. =) And I'm lucky to be listening to this music as it really is something magically! My dad is 56 and he've also listened to jazz all his life. When i was 4 years old my dad always used to play jazz on the radio and that's probably why I looove it so much! =) It's really the greatest music!!! =) But I play blues on guitar as I also love that very much. Now I'm trying to learn playing jazz. =)

Wow, I'm kind of new to jazz. I just discovered Mingus and I am truly taken aback. I like Radiohead alot and heard Mingus is their influence. I never realized what Ive been missing out on. I listen to Rock, Hip Hop, Electronic, Classical, and Indian Classical but Ive never listened to jazz much cept lately. Ive started on Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, and Miles Davis and other famous jazzers Ive heard of. I wonder if you guys no any other unique yet really good jazz music I should try out.

No, it's "Blues & Politics" by the Mingus Big Band, recorded in 1999. Not the original one but one of the 3 current tribute groups (Mingus Big Band, Mingus Orchestra, and Mingus Dynasty). "Blues and Roots" was an actual Mingus album recorded in 1959. Google it. It's available at Amazon and on iTunes.

Mingus' masterwork, "Epitaph," a composition which is more than 4000 measures long and which requires two hours to perform, was discovered during the cataloguing process. With the help of a grant from the Ford Foundation, the score and instrumental parts were copied, and the piece itself was premiered by a 30-piece orchestra, conducted by Gunther Schuller, in a concert produced by Sue Mingus at Alice Tully Hall on June 3, 1989, ten years after Mingus' death. Wow o.o gotta check that out!!! =)

Hi Maxohpne If you still haven't decided you won't go far wrong with "Mingus Ah Hum"! Pretty much all his favourites on it. As you can tell from the "Ah Hum" bit in the title it's a bit tonge in cheek, which means it's a good place to start with a complicated guy like Charlie.

I chose to supply the names of the band leaders which would be easier to find than individual players, not to say i don't adore listening to paul desmond. For example if i was recommending Jimmy Cobb's drumming, i would refer them to Miles Davis's albums. As well If you will permit me to point out that Wynton Marsalias and Oscar Peterson do not play saxophone either, but almost all of there recordings are great and almost all the musicians they played with were great.

First off, this tune is in tribute to the tenor saxophonest Lester Young. So, how you see it as a song for fast altos and "double stand up bass" I just can't see? Furthermore, Bobby hutcherson is still alive. You need to educate yourself before you make comments you know nothing about. Read some literature and buy the music that's how it's done.
