Definitely A fan right here, he's one of the major reasons I got into jazz, actually one of the major things that turned me into a serious music fan. Mingus Ah Um was one the first jazz albums I listened to all the way through and is still probably my favorite of his but I also love Mingu Mingus Mingus Mingus, Black Saint And The Sinner Lady, Blues and Roots, hell most of his stuff. | |

any recom,endations,any MUSTHAVES! Cheers musiclovers Mingus never made a bad album, but these are my favourites - in no order Ah Um Black Saint Lady Sinner Tijuana Moods The Clown Blues & Roots Oh Yeah Mingus Plays Piano Let My Children Hear Music Cumbia Jazz Fusion Mingus At Antibes Complete Concert Changes One Changes Two I also highly recommend a Hal Wilner Mingus tribute album called Weird Nightmare. Under the Underdog's a literary masterpiece. [Edited 7/13/06 0:11am] There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying.

i've listed these several times on the org. might be a little too heavy as an introduction to mingus, but these are very intimate recordings and are among my favs. i think Ah Um is a safe introduction for anyone curious of that Mingus sound. . [Edited 7/13/06 2:03am] | |

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 does that song feature a female vocalist? if so i think its on the anthology. Nah. that's not it, though the title is close. the song i was thinking of is titled Portrait featuring Jackie Paris. you can hear a sample here. http://www.rhino.com/stor...ber=71402# and i think the best intro to mingus is the anthology 13 pictures: 
this really shows his range from Cumbia Jazz and Fusion to Myself when i am real. i will say you'd have to be willing to part with at least $25, it being a double disc and all, but totally worth it. 
nice packaging and linear notes too! | |

I'm no jazz expert (not by a long shot), but I listen to this one from my partner's collection occasionally:
Good stuff! | |

Nice piece but Jackie's got one of those voices you've really gotta have a taste for. Check out his take on 'Round Midnight or When I Fall In Love. I don't get it.

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 i really do love Jackie's voice on the song. i'm surprised i haven't sought out more of her stuff. 
i haven't heard his versions of the 2 songs you mentioned, but knowing me, i might just like them.  | |
