Charles Mingus - Oh Yeah
$45.00
Commenting on this album in 1962, Billboard magazine wrote: "He seems to be everywhere, everywhere that is but on his usual instrument." Charles Mingus, one of the most impressive musicians in the history of jazz, doesn't play a single note on the bass for a change, but leads the band from his (blues-)piano – the instrument that he always used for composing. He hits the keys, he sings the blues, he shouts and he encourages – apparently Mingus really found the need to express himself loudly in this album (Doug Watkins stood in for him on the contrabass).
