Charles Mingus - Better Git It In Your Soul

[AlexBeston]

o yeah mamma!

[bluejazz44]

Mingus, Coltrane, Monk, Evans,Jarrett, Ellington,Baker,and many others are in this category. Jazz is divine.

[bluejazz44]

sometimes is difficult to say something that determines the class of musician, genius is little, Mingus is much more than that

[maosaytounge49]

"What genre of music do you play?" "Mingus."

[grevejp44]

This is one of those songs that is too awesome to not like.

[MrBassDude15]

Im seventeen. Got "Mingus Ah Um" from my aunt for last christmas. I was like, "I could give it a try i suppose...". Good idea! Now I'm into jazz!

[ypsedixit1]

@MrBassDude15 Your aunt has good taste. This one of the greatest albums of all time ... in any genre.

[TheRevolution1988]

The best.

[twrobalin]

This got in my soul the very first time I heard it over 30 years ago. It's still simply incredible.

[Kurtiz76]

I think this is my fav. Mingus song. Fukin awesome.

[JeniseGrice]

The root of the matter...

[habaladen]

I just listened to some other group's version of this and was left feeling dissatisfied. It did not git in in my soul at all.

[wesrace1]

Man, thanks for posting this. Charles Mingus and his group were incredibly inspired!

[venusfly9108]

Theres just so much so soul in this, it's rediculous.

[giovizaff]

[Zhelnerovich]

@giovizaff a good-looking girl

[horbergus]

@giovizaff man that sounds sweet, doing the same here man. Whats your favourite duke songs? Never really understood his music. This on the other hand, i am in love with

[giovizaff]

@horbergus can't really say I have a favourite. I got one for each mood :D I love some of the stuff he recorded with Ella particularly...

[giovizaff]

@horbergus Oh, and I'm a girl :P

[horbergus]

@giovizaff Oh, sorry about that, i seemed like such a man-like thing to do, with the beer and all

[giovizaff]

@horbergus It's ok...contrary to people's beliefs, us girls drink beer too ;) it sort of goes hand in hand with jazz, don't you think?

[horbergus]

@giovizaff Jazz and beer, marijuana, it works very good all three together

[giovizaff]

@horbergus ah...tripping out to mingus...I'll try that next time...

[horbergus]

@giovizaff Not necessarily tripping out, just enjoying the music a lot

[thomasalwyndavisj]

[Zaybarra]

[WhatFuckingUsernameI]

The Title says it all.

[Tweedbit]

WOW This is - It couldn't get any better.

[bosterobatero]

awesome!!!

[ghafoor10]

This is masterpiece music. I now see where Jimmy Smith got the idea for West Side Story album. There is definitely A-Mingus-amonu-us!

[Wilfslad]

if you don't like this, you don't like music

[forkboy84]

@Wilfslad It's a cheap thing to say to get some thumbs up for your comment, but it's nonsense. As a caveat, I do like this, a lot, I own the 50th anniversary edition of Mingus Ah Um on CD. But claiming someone doesn't like music because they can't appreciate one particular style is just daft. Music's an instinctual thing. I certainly don't choose what I like, it's just whatever feels right, whatever clicks with you on a sub-concious level. Whatever makes people happy is cool man!

[MaximumPony]

@forkboy84 Music is only partially instinctual, it also relates to how much you understand within music. I fucking hated Jazz 5 years ago, Now I play a few instruments and have really learned how to love Jazz, (and other music genres).

I will agree, that it was a rather wanky comment to make to get a few thumbs up, akin to almost every "top comment" on youtube.
