Charles Mingus - Fables Of Faubus

[goozdail]

Oh dear lord I love this so much!

If you wanna play some mingus tunes, try the book more than a play along, by members of the mingus big band. Their recorded version of this tune (quartet format) is amazing, same goe to pithecantropus erectus. Cheers! those 8 mins were perfect

Everytime I walk into any Starbucks, this song is playing.

[Berserkedy]

@defme01 Wonderful.

I'm a hepcat and it took me years to see a photo of Lester Young wearing his fabled pork pie hat. It does look like one.

[olmar71]

fantastico e geniale !!!

[olmar71]

fantastico!!!

[xinemommy]

Epic. I wish all protest songs were like this one!

[mudrooroo2]

So damn good. I left listening to jazz for quite a few years, but now I've returned and I think it is perhaps the best music ever produced by the human race. Free and easy; often tight and disciplined; sometimes fun sometimes serious, what more could God give us in his love. Om mani peme hum

[emmycat100]

@mudrooroo2 Couldn't agree more. What species are you by the way?

[fadgadget0]

timeless !

[forcazia123]

you know that this was created in protest of governor faubus because he was trying to not integrate schools

3:55



[canthinkverywell]

right below classical, jazz is my 2nd favorite form of music. i'm usually more into hard-bop, but the smooth stuff is cool too :)

[STEVEFINNERTY]

life confirming sound.

[TroyConvers5000]

1 person is still going 'Ah Um' at what he's hearing.

[Pedrolarrozapretti]

If an alien came to me and said: "I've got 10 minutes to absorb the meaning of the human word 'JAZZ'.", I'd play this track for him.

[jasonsheil]

I wanna listen to some lil' Wayne. :D

[XephSlayer]

@jasonsheil /obvious troll

[jasonsheil]

@XephSlayer

Hahaha thanks for that. I completely forgot about that comment. I love the Mingus, and I love how my comment got so many negative votes it got hidden and you STILL had to read it. Fuck lil Wayne :P

[myvette1211]

How could listen to this and not think it was cool?

[myvette1211]

@ringostar8 I feel you.

[MrTidjon]

Ohhhh Yeeaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[bassbonebob]

the arrangement I've played had the bass bone playing the opening line. so sick but so hard

[UnexpectedExpressive]

is this real? it's too wonderful to be real but.. it must be

[LedZeppelinisgod100]

too. damn. good. Mingus's genius is like nobody else's.

[yufunk]

Im trying to find superlatives but none of them are radical enough...

[Bpoang]

what are the notes for the chorus?

[MsCaballoVerde]

Mingus & Rasputina got me through two weeks in the hospital. Thanks.

[qewtra]

yeeeaahhhhh

[yamejanakaratoprak]

1:45 or 1;45

[dunleymusic]

mingus is a monster

[FrozenSnake999]

Good stuff.

[ringostar8]

So damn smooth, none of my friends appreciate jazz. I don't understand how you cannot be completely taken by this music.

[haloguy1337]

@ringostar8 hehe, sitting here at 2 AM listening to this song as I stroll along my way, navigating and doing what-not. And I wonder the same exact fucken thing.

[Marlowann]

It's certainly great, but I am not completely taken by this music. I certainly wouldn't listen to it on a regular basis. I'd suppose people who wouldn't be completely taken by this music might be expecting and also hoping for something else, given whatever kind of music they may have been raised on.

[ringostar8]

I tend to speak fairly hyperbolically on those occasions, that happen so often, in which a song evokes immense emotion from me.

[Marlowann]

I can understand. I was sort of trying to supplement your statement; it is certainly sometimes baffling that people are not always struck by a particularly great piece of music.

[flammesombres]

wtf do you mean 'regular bass', boy?

[Marlowann]

I typed "Regular Basis." I'm not sure how I could help you if you still don't know what I meant.

[banhai2]

@ringostar8 Same here. Have you ever heard John Lurie?

[Roofyroo]

@ringostar8 They are lost if the tune goes off a recognizable melody. I always say improvisation is academic or we are obtuse. Jazz is my form of religiion.

[rewt5]

Very nice share.  Great quality.

[beeshor1]

Another perfect part taken from a perfect album. Thanks for posting.
