	Charles Mingus - Music Downloads - Online
		His touchstone was Duke Ellington, but Mingus took the sonic blend and harmonies of Ellingtonia much further, throwing in abrasive dissonances and abrupt changes in meter and tempo, introducing tremendously exhilarating accelerations that generated a momentum of their own.
		However, Mingus' obsessive efforts to free himself from the economic hazards and larceny of the music business nearly undermined his sanity in the 1960s (indeed, some of the liner notes for The Black Saint album were written by his psychologist, Dr. Edmund Pollock).
		The Mingus blend of wildly colorful eclecticism solidly rooted in jazz history should serve his legacy well in a future increasingly populated by young conservatives who want to pay their respects to tradition and try something different.

		It was in Antibes that Mingus and his disciples gathered one fabled summer night in 1960 to lay down a set of the most religiously joyous jazz-spirituals ever recorded.
		Mingus is heard urging Dolphy through his remarkably vocal alto solo to "talk about it, Eric." Here, as elsewhere on the album, inspired solos give way to heated call and response breaks between Mingus and the band, fueled by rhythmic hand claps and Mingus' shouts of encouragment.
		Mingus at Antibes sustains a miraculous and exhilirating momentem.

		Most of Mingus' music retained the hot and soulful feel of hard bop, and drew heavily from fl gospel music while sometimes drawing on elements of avant garde jazz and free jazz.
		Mingus broke new ground with the constantly changing players demanding that his musicians be able to explore and develop their perceptions on the spot.

	Chicago Reader Movie Review
		Maybe it's because he had a genius for straddling musical categories such as traditional, modern, avant-garde, jazz, and classical (as Gunther Schuller points out in one of this film's interviews, Mingus studied Arnold Schoenberg's music in his teens, during the 30s, when few people here were familiar with it).
		Mingus offers it only in successive bits intercut with the artist speaking to the camera in his loft or getting evicted.
		Mingus is a rough-hewn but homogeneous portrait filmed on the run.

		Mingus was what got me into jazz, and he continues to be one of my favorites.
		Mingus made Ellington's music more random and incorperated gospel in it, but for the most part had a similar structure to it.
		Ellington complained about Mingus' lack of passion for the music (yup, the same guy throwing his upright at audience members lacked passion) and was too arguementative to keep around.

		Charles Mingus was one of the greatest talents in the jazz world, as a bassist, bandleader, and composer.
		Both Coleman and Young knew Mingus for more than 20 years, and the book is rich with material recalling Mingus and the social and creative forces of the period: For example, Mingus played Genghis Kahn in a "psychedelic Western" written by Coleman's husband and filmed at Timothy Leary's ranch.
		Mingus criticizes Leary's approach: "You can't improvise on nothin', man. You gotta improvise on something." The book is filled with Mingus' humor and anger and appetites; his idealism and his realism.

	Jelly review: Mingus Big Band
		As good as Charles Mingus was as a bass player, which is to say one of the greatest, I am sure he will eventually be remembered more as a composer.
		This is a shame, since Mingus is one of a handful of truly great jazz composers, extending the tradition of Ellington and Monk, and striding the full range of jazz from gospel and Dixieland to hard bop and free jazz.
		The Mingus Big Band, run by Mingus's widow Sue, evolved from the large group put together by Gunther Schuller for the posthumous performance of Mingus's massive "Epitaph." The band plays weekly in New York with a revolving list of performers and arrangers.

	Charles Mingus : Mingus Ah Um ---Ink Blot Magazine
		Maverick bassist Charles Mingus came to prominence during bebop's heyday, although he began playing swing with Barney Bigard, Lionel Hampton, and (briefly) Louis Armstrong in the 1940s.
		Mingus had come close on previous records, but on this opus, he reaches beyond the standard small-group style of theme, solo, and rideout, perfectly balancing ideas of structure and freedom, composition and improvisation.
		Mingus shows his keen sense of humor on pieces such as "Fables of Faubus" and "Jelly Roll." The former, named for segregationist Arkansas Gov. Orval E. Faubus, features a loping, almost vaudevillian melody and a shifting rhythmic pattern that moves from jagged stop time to smooth swing to fleet double time.

		The first Mingus composition I ever heard was "Hora Decubitus", and it literally struck me speechless; I was shellshocked by the overwhelming power of that throbbing bass.
		Mingus' restless intelligence is in full force on this album.
		Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus is better on tracks like "Hora Decubitus" and "II BS", when the impassioned blowing is reined in by the tightly wound strings of his incredible bass.

		Mingus Tourette often writes in a way that may be considered obscene by certain people.
		Obscenity, however, lies in the eyes of the beholder, and in Mingus' eye, it is far less obscene to us the dreaded c-word cunt than it is to invade a sovereign nation in the name of oil and the Christian God.

		Then UA moved up the date five weeks, Mingus kept writing even newer music while rehearsals were underway, the musicians were unprepared, and the audience - most of whom were apparently expecting a fully rehearsed concert rather than a taping session with false starts, retakes and edit pieces - was flabbergasted.
		Mingus is reunited with McPherson, Handy and Kirk plus Jon Faddis (trumpet), Hamiet Bluiett (baritone sax), Richmond and Pullen on two side-long cuts, both consisting of extended individual solos rather than group improv.
		Mingus collaborated with Joni Mitchell on her album Mingus, completed after his January 1979 death.

		He felt that way about himself, at least ethnically -- the multiracial Mingus observed that he felt like he belonged to several worlds, but was at home in none.
		But Mingus was a jazz man at heart, and his meticulous, sprawling constructions required improvisation, so he wrote parts that allowed such playing, often scrawling in the score's margins exhortations to jam.
		Mingus combines elements of free jazz and avant-garde composition here, but throws in the other influences that matter to his music: gritty blues, soul and spontaneous, churchy gospel.

		Mingus produced a stream of compositions, many of them exploring his African-American heritage, and most of them encapsulated in more than one version on his steady flow of albums including: Tijuana Moods (1957); Blues and Roots (1959); Ah Um (1959); Mingus!
		Mingus was always of fiery temperament, and in 1966, his psychological troubles came to a head, and together with the strained finances of running a group such as his, he stopped performing for four years.
		His small group music was kept alive by the band Mingus Dynasty, and the Mingus Big Band (under the direction of his widow, Sue) continues to perform his big band music.

		mingus then signed with atlantic and rerecorded a lot of material, saying that old record company didn't let him record the songs the way he wanted to.
		what was notable is that dannie richmond, mingus' lifelong drummer companion, was not on the gig because of a death in the family.
		This has little to do with Mingus, but I thought that it would be appropriate here to say that on the Farfisa keyboard that I have, there is a Jaco Bass sound.
