THE WAY THIS MUSIC WAS MEANT TO BE HEARD
180 gram VINYL -AUDIOPHILE PRESSING
MINGUS AH UM (Columbia CS-8171), featuring an
all-star group including Jimmy Knepper, John Handy, Booker
Ervin and Curtis Porter (aka Shafi Hadi), was Charles Mingus' first LP for
Columbia. By the mid-50s, Mingus had formed his own publishing and
recording companies to protect and document his growing repertoire
of original music. He also founded the "Jazz Workshop," a group
which enabled young composers to have their new works performed
in concert and on recordings. One of those albums was Mingus Ah
Um, an extremely personal work that once again showcased Mingus'
unique talent for breaking new ground. "Fables of Faubus" is one
of Mingus's most explicitly political works. The song was written as
a direct protest against Arkansas governor Orval E. Faubus, who in
1957 sent out the National Guard to prevent the integration of Little
Rock Central High School by nine African American teenagers. The
extensive original liner notes, included below, were written by Diane
Dorr-Dorynek, who by this time was not only Mingus' publicist and
agent, but also his lover.
