Charles Mingus: Ah Uhm Bassist Charles Mingus was one of the great figures in modern jazz. Raised in Los Angeles, he was a devotee of Duke Ellington, whose compositional style had an unsurpassed effect on the young composer. As a player, however, Mingus was drawn to his contemporaries, who included Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Charlie Parker, and Max Roach (Roach and Mingus co-owned their own Debut Records during the '50s). Perhaps his greatest contribution was bridging the gap between those two generations: in Mingus's music, one could always explicitly hear the continuity between the big bands and the bebop era, the affinity between the romantic and the modern. Mingus Ah Um is perhaps the best introduction to his work as a soloist and composer (Better Git It in Your Soul, Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, Fables of Faubus, Self-Portrait in Three Colors...)
