Charles Mingus "Oh Yeah"

LP (NEW) - Vinyl, DOL, Europe, 2017, DOL866HG, 180g Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve

Released in April 1962 through Atlantic Records, Charles Mingus's Oh Yeah stands as the wildest, most eccentric anomaly in the legendary jazz icon's massive discography. The record is defined by a jaw-dropping twist: Mingus does not play a single note of bass, completely handing over his primary instrument to Doug Watkins. Instead, he commands the band from the piano bench, unleashing bluesy cluster chords and dynamic, unhinged vocal shouts that make this album a raucous, essential masterclass in roots-driven avant-garde jazz.
