Biography
Los Angeles, United States (1922 – 1979)
Mingus’ legacy is notable: he is ranked among the finest composers and performers in jazz, and recorded many highly regarded albums. Dozens of musicians passed through his bands and later went on to impressive careers. His songs - though melodic and distinctive - are not often recorded by later musicians, due in part to their unconventional nature. Mingus was also influential and creative as a bandleader, recruiting talented and sometimes little-known artists whom he assembled into unconventional and revealing configurations.
Nearly as well known as his ambitious music was Mingus’ often fearsome temperament, which earned him the nickname “The Angry Man of Jazz”. His refusal to compromise his musical integrity led to many onstage explosions, though it has been argued that his temper also grew from a need to vent frustration. Ironically, a perfect show could irritate him by closing this outlet.
Mingus was prone to depression. He tended to have brief periods of extreme creative activity, intermixed with fairly long periods of greatly decreased output.

Sinner Lady is the best. Not just the best Mingus album, but the best. Ah Um has more listens because it has more tracks :s Ah Um gets 3x+ scrobbles with each listen... I still haven't heard Children yet– Gah, I'm such a loser!

acid_porno's post is one of the more absurd internet posts I've seen so far this life, which is pretty incredible considering some of the stuff I've seen. Hats off to you, good sir.

I recommend "Let My Children Hear Music" to everyone who has not yet listened to it. Truly a masterpiece.
