It was the storied bassist's debut for \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Columbia\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eColumbia\u003c\/a\u003e and he turned in a recording that captured all of his talents. The set is extremely varied, encompassing the spiritual ecstasy of \"Better Get It in Your Soul,\" complete with gospel shouts and the mockery of segregationist Arkansas governor Orval Faubus on \"Fables of Faubus\" (the censored lyrics can be found on \u003cem\u003eCharles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus\u003c\/em\u003e). There's a tribute to the then recently deceased saxophonist Lester Young on the slow moving \"Goodbye Pork Pie Hat\" and the aggressive swing of \"Boogie Stop Shuffle.\" Mingus also offers up nods to jazz greats Duke Ellington and Jelly Roll Morton on their namesake songs. With all that and more, \u003cem\u003eMingus Ah Hum\u003c\/em\u003e comes the closest to being the definitive Mingus album.
