Not just a bass player but a legendary composer. Here's one of my absolute faves, Pithecanthropus Erectus. https://youtu.be/p0H2G_W-O0I https://youtu.be/p0H2G

- jbigelow76 5y agoI got into Charles Mingus through "Mingus Plays Piano", I particularly like piano jazz when working, but any bop oriented jazz is good. Newcomers should give "Myself When I Am Real" a listen, it's a lovely composition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk71dhCz7wM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk71dhCz7wM
- noman-land 5y agoAbsolutely beautiful album, and Myself When I Am Real is one of the best tracks. The whole record has little bits of studio talk before and after some of the recordings and you can hear Mingus feeling really shy and vulnerable playing alone. You can even hear it in his playing, I think. Pretty remarkable. Love that guy.
- amongwhales 5y agoLove Myself When I Am Real and Black Saint. But I had trouble finding other songs as enjoyable. Is there anything else similar in his catalog?
- drumttocs8 5y agoBlack Saint and the Sinner Lady is one of my top albums of all time.
