Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um (Blue Vinyl)
One of the most essential jazz records ever pressed, Mingus Ah Um (1959) captures Charles Mingus at his most bold, soulful, and inventive. Blending gospel, blues, swing, and bebop with fiery emotional energy, this is the sound of a composer refusing to sit still. From the iconic “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat” (a tribute to Lester Young) to the driving “Better Git It in Your Soul,” every track swings with purpose—balancing structure and freedom in a way only Mingus could. It’s a masterclass in ensemble playing and a landmark of post-bop innovation. This Blue Vinyl Edition adds a vibrant twist to a timeless classic—perfect for crate-diggers, jazz heads, and newcomers looking to start their collection with something truly foundational and visually stunning.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR RECORDS
Always handle your vinyl by its edges and label, avoiding fingerprints on the grooves. Before and after each play, gently clean the surface with a carbon-fiber anti-static brush or a dedicated record-cleaning solution to remove dust and debris. Store records upright in their sleeves, away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight to preserve sound quality and prevent warping..
