MINGUS AH UM
1959, COLUMBIA
Great admirer of Duke Ellington and big band jazz, Mingus never had the opportunity to lead his own. But he often managed to create big band music with a smaller group. On Mingus Ah Um, one of his undeniable masterpieces, there are chases between the brass, drum explosions, zigzag sprints. In this fast-paced genre, the very accessible "Boogie Stop Shuffle" is perfect, like the soundtrack of a crime thriller during rush hour. This kind of track, and there are a majority on the album, should be listened to with a defibrillator nearby. When the tempo slows down, the group becomes fur stroked against the grain. Then it takes off again, foot on the accelerator to finish the album with a "Pedal Point Blues" that makes speed radars crackle. On the road to joy.
