Check out, "Ah-Um" by Mingus. Brutal. Also, the long version of, "Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting" is worth seeking out by him as well....

Nina Simone's, "The Blues" is a great introduction to her. She is my favorite single artist of all time. Here's some great tunes by her that everyone here should check out....

1. Feeling Good
2. Nobody's Fault But Mine
3. Mississippi God Damn (A 1960'sCivil Rights Anthem)
4. Funkier Than A Mosquito's Tweeter
5. I Want Some Sugar In My Bowl
6. It's No Use
7. I Shall Be Released
8. Be My Husband
9. Four Women
10. I Love You Porgy (her first hit)

Mingus & Simone Are some of the greatest musical talents America Has ever produced....

Yeah, and that's Mingus on piano & vocals! Not only could he shread on bass, but he also could play a mean piano....

From the release:
Oh Yeah (1962)

This time Mingus left the bass to play piano, and sing. His singing is straight out of country blues ("Devil Woman") with plenty of gospel influence ("Ecclusiastics") - often he dispenses with traditional lyrics in favor of expressive hollering. The compositions are grittier than before: "Hog Callin' Blues" is directly, intensely emotional; "Portrait of a Man" is even more intense, although the emotions are harder to pin down. For balance, he includes the broadly comic "Eat That Chicken." He's deft on piano, often Monk-like. Doug Watkins fills in on bass; longtime associates Ervin, Knepper and Richmond are still around; but the guest of honor is Rahsaan Roland Kirk, who plays not only tenor sax and flute, but also two sax-like instruments (manzello and strich) and siren. Best known for his freaky act (playing two or three wind instruments at the same time), Roland Kirk's also an impassioned, blues-based sax player, and his every solo here is of interest. The CD is supplemented with a twenty-minute interview with Mingus, in which he discusses the music on the album (among lots of other subjects) - fun the first time through. (DBW)
