Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um

This was a pretty tough decision to make. Not the album itself, but deciding which Charles Mingus album to upload. It was between this, Oh Yeah, and The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady. Ultimately, I went with Mingus Ah Um because it was the first Charles Mingus album I fell in love with and, in my humble estimation, his best work.

Artist: Charles Mingus
Album: Mingus Ah Um
Genre: Jazz
Year released: 1959
Standout tracks: Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, Fables of Faubus, Pussy Cat Dues

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue


I decided I would upload an album I love every fortnight for two reasons:
1. I love music.
2. I love the commonwealth unit of time.
It makes perfect sense that the first album I uploaded, also happens to be my favorite album of all time. I know it's a pretty cliché #1, but there's a reason why so many people have fallen in love with it. Instead of waxing poetic, below are the specs to get you on your way.

Artist: Miles Davis
Album: Kind of Blue
Genre: Jazz
Year released: 1959
Standout tracks: So What, Blue In Green, Flamenco Sketches
