In Memoriam: Charles Mingus
I sat be side the man / his ruined, round body / eyes of a sultan, sandweary & all encompass ing / fat, black pudgy fingers ancient eyes : you know me for sure Charles Mingus / got nuthin to say got unthin to ask of your vastness Your sadness old as notes the soul neglects / got nuthin to give you back for what you blew Got nuthin but the slow, sad weight of 2 huge hands 2 urns to hold the ashes of a man's gesture moving pensively on the dense piano like God's presence on the still face of the hushed waters -Mikhail Horowitz |

My first introduction to him is the album 'Mingus Ah Um' which I bought a few days ago for £3. To say I am blown away is an understatement. There is some incredible stuff going on on this album. Cannot wait to hear more.

All I have is a "Best Of" type collection of his music but I absolutely love it. Anyone have any recommendations?

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady Blues & Roots Mingus Dynasty The Clown Honestly, his entire discography is pretty flawless. He was a phenomenal bassist and a spectacular composer. He never received as much respect as Coltrane, Davis, etc, but he is just as talented a compositional genius as them. As I stated before, I think Mingus Ah Um rivals the best in jazz, and that's certainly saying something.
