The complete album - limited edition pressing on 180g crystal clear vinyl. The Penguin Guide to Jazz called 'Mingus Ah Um' Inchan extended tribute to ancestorsInch and awarded it with one of their rarely given Crown accreditations. It is, in fact, one of Mingus' most personal albums, and produced a series of songs that have become standards.
