Charles Mingus - Groove! ♫ Haitian Fight Song II B.S. ♫

[botvinnik64]

Baaddest MF on the planet Charles Mingus!!!!

[kingkrab123]

This stuff is what supposedly inspired a lot of Bassists in Heavy Metal Bands, such as the Original Beefcake the Mighty in GWAR, and Joe Satriani's Satch Boogie Song, and perhaps the fuel for Black Sabbaths first Record.

[kissthesky99]

incredible.

[TheRetchin]

which album was this version from? he had a few of them, but I liked this one best

[npovoa]

@TheRetchin I believe it's from "Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus" '95.

[Buzzleable]

My god this is sexy.

[flea0chilipeppers]

Mingus and I share the same birthday!!!!!!!!!!!

[polaroidsky]

somebody give me more straight upright bass pickin' to listen to!

[jjjmanyo]

Weird, when I download this by converting it to an mp3 it turns into a 15 minute version, sick

[AStudCalledKyle]

During the opening solo, what kind of percussion is being played over?

[EmperorXaozx]

Our marching band closer, although somewhat changed. Our started at :28 and didn't have the Cello intro.

[funkybassymf132]

@EmperorXaozx umm.... that is a bass. The cello is very rarely used in jazz, but Ron Carter has played cello on a few jazz albums

[EmperorXaozx]

@funkybassymf132 I thought Cello was played in the start.

[jazzaces294]

@EmperorXaozx Nah, that's Charles Mingus on the upright bass.

[gooseflesh9]

you're the man!!!!!

[loindicipat]

Superbe ! Envoûtant ! Génial ! Le talent à l'état pur :))))

[808ichbanluva]

It would also have been a perfect match for a Cowboy Bebop episode.

[orken7]

@808ichbanluva or Bacanno!

[meczydusza1]

Excellent!

[lankyj91]

Quagmire brought me here.

[myvette1211]

I love listening to this. This is what cool means.

[KinoPPete1]

Can someone put a reference to this particular recording of Haitian Fight Song? What record/concert is it taken from?

[KinoPPete1]

@KinoPPete1 Never mind. It's actually II B.S. from Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus on Impulse. The Haitian Fight Song title threw me off.

[jjjmanyo]

@KinoPPete1 I always wondered what the difference is between the pieces, there are some changes melodically and in the harmonies, but with a style like jazz that's expected

[Godisfinger]

THIS is Jazz!

[Mrtriumphchopper]

This puts me in mind of those sophistcated P.I. TV show soundtracks of the late fifties. Swings hard and gritty.DAMN I love it!!!

[luzbelica1709]

i still cant get over this song :) LOVE IT

[laxerolje]

My favorite jazz chuuune for a decade now. My mind like the fingers on Mingus' bass.

[BuckshotLaFunke1]

Jaki Byard on piano.

[123must]

One of the best by the genious of Mingus !

Thanks a lot

[TigerLikesTail]

Oh & I have one for you to have fun with.

It's a real obscure but amazing Jamerson line.

The song is called Heaven must Have Sent You by The Elgins.

You can search it that way here. There is also a funk brothers version that is instrumental.. I think it is listed as Motown FUNK BROTHERS Heaven must have sent you.. If you feel daring also try Darling Dear by the Jackson 5.

That is Jamerson's most beautiful & may be his most difficult to play.

[TigerLikesTail]

This is one of the all-time underrated classics.

It swings so hard it makes me cry..

I remember first hearing this when i bought the mingus,mingus,mingus album.

This track & Eric Dolphy - Gazzelloni both changed forever the way I felt the groove.

[yuhnasty24]

This guy's a natural at it, he's just dishin' out the best double bass man has ever had the pleasure of hearing while his band is swingin' right on with him and actually keepin up..damn..Charles Mingus is most definitely a legend and one of the best to have ever done it and this song proves that.

[gjc82071]

Mingus may have been a mean, ornery SOB, but there can be no question that he was a musical genius. The intricacies of his arrangements/compositions in Jazz, is comparable to that of a Mozart or Bach in Classical. I can't believe I grew up listening to Jazz (step-dad was a full time musician/mostly Jazz (Saxaphones (all) Flutes, Clarinet, Piano) I love it now, BUT, I only recently discovered Mingus.

[Tochihuitzin]

Gracias Maestro Charles Mingus!!! definitivamente uno de los esenciales en la historia del JAzz

[neroshege]

pure

[jjtyler21]

Booker Ervin shredded the solo section (in a good way).

[kwnphoto]

My fingers are sore just from beating against the chair trying to keep up with him

[MrFunxy]

keeeeeeeeeeewllll....~

[MrJazz86]

Ecco che c'è. C'è che quando ascolti gente come Charles Mingus ti rendi conto davvero del valore estetico-poetico della musica; qui non c'è nulla che tenga, solo perfezione! E' un altro tipo di jazz, complicato,ricercato ma anche rozzo e clandestino; quel jazz da bettole del New Jersey e posti jazz d'avanguardia. Mingus è poesia!

[wdude100]

And THAT is how you play music.

[clutterfish]

never heard charles mingus before now. i'm in love.

[DexRok]

the actor who plays Bunk on the wire needs to play charlie mingus in a movie.

[gracedifford]

@DexRok You rule with that observation bro!

[LTmattYT]

@DexRok THAT WOULD BE SO NICE LOL

[SomeMusic12]

@DexRok great!

[123must]

[rigidyroll44]

[tomass1026]

@rigidyroll44

[phillaico]

[LilPutter]
