Recorded in 1959 and released in 1960, it marked a deliberate turn towards blues-based forms after the more complex orchestral writing of his earlier work. Mingus uses the ensemble with both swing and tension, shaping pieces like Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting and Moanin’ into spirited, hard-driving performances. Widely regarded as a cornerstone of his catalogue, the album shows his gift for combining compositional discipline, collective improvisation and emotional intensity without losing forward momentum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n    \u003ch2\u003eReview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllMusic rating: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"Stars rating-10\" aria-label=\"Rating of this product is 5.0 out of 5.\"\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n          \u003cstrong\u003eAllMusic users: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"Stars rating-10\" aria-label=\"Rating of this product is 5.0 out of 5.\"\u003e\n          (728 votes)\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n          \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/mw0000193364\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRead the AllMusic.com review\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n  \n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/charles-mingus\"\u003eCharles Mingus\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/atlantic-records-record-label\"\u003eAtlantic\u003c\/a\u003e – P-6099A\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_japan\"\u003eJapan\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\/year_1972\"\u003e1972\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/post-bop\"\u003ePost Bop\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Charles+Mingus+Wednesday+Night+Prayer+Meeting\"\u003eWednesday Night Prayer Meeting\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Charles+Mingus+Cryin'+Blues\"\u003eCryin' Blues\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Charles+Mingus+Moanin'\"\u003eMoanin'\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Charles+Mingus+Tensions\"\u003eTensions\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Charles+Mingus+My+Jelly+Roll+Soul\"\u003eMy Jelly Roll Soul\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Charles+Mingus+E's+Flat+Ah's+Flat+Too\"\u003eE'S Flat Ah'S Flat Too\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Atlantic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44252113240129,"sku":"9554563","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/OC0xMjExLmpwZWc_75ANHKz.jpg?v=1784877321","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/charles-mingus-blues-roots-342749","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
