Amazon.com
Besides the masterfully sloppy music within, this 1961 recording offers two noteworthy elements to the Mingus discography: the presence of Roland Kirk blowing his usual assortment of horn-like oddities, and the presence of Mingus himself on piano (Doug Watkins replaces Mingus on bass). The loose (even for Mingus) environment brings Mingus's vibrant but tense sense of humor to the fore. As usual, his compositions borrow heavily from blues and gospel sources. His quirky, devilish piano work adds a new dimension to his music while Kirk, Booker Ervin, and Jimmy Knepper all contribute solos that are alternately pithy and passionate. Mingus even sings his own idiosyncratic lyrics in a number of spots. The CD reissue adds a long but at times insightful interview with Atlantic head Neshui Ertegun. Not a Mingus essential, but rewarding for its peek into Mingus's complex personality and its compelling blend of bitterness and jocularity. --Marc GreilsamerCustomer Reviews:

Who Says Humor and Jazz Are Mutually Exclusive?.......2007-04-10
"Hog Callin' Blues" is unabashed, pedal to the metal shoutin' blues, literally, as Mingus just whoops and hollers with gleeful abandon encouraging the musicians to go for broke. "Ecclusiastics" and "Oh Lord Don't Let Them Drop That Atomic Bomb On Me" show the influence of church music that Mingus grew up with, the slow gospel flavor mixed with passionate blues. In addition, "Eat That Chicken" is just HILARIOUS (and apparently sent many a vegetarian into an uproar), and the brilliance is uninhibited with tracks like "Devil Woman" and the very unpredictable "Passions Of A Man".
Mingus took a major departure here in another respect, by giving the bass to one Doug Watkins (who sadly died in a car crash not long after the album's release) who handles the task more than admirably. Opting to sit down at the piano and even SING, Mingus goes for broke to express how he feels deep down and let people in on more aspects of his inner world, the humor, the pain and everything else! Drummer Dannie Richmond heats things up considerably for all involved with his fiery and incredibly flexible playing. The pairing of Brooker Ervin and Rahsaan Roland Kirk on various reeds is nothing short of genius, between Ervin's pointed explorations on tenor and Kirk's crazy ecclectic palette of sounds, including tenor sax, flute, siren, stritch (a sort of mutant soprano sax) and manzello (a straightened alto sax). Jimmy Knepper adds pungent statements on his trombone, with much humor and agility.
Colorful and hilariously unpredictable is the only way I can think to describe this unique blues-drenched Mingus offering.
Best Mingus Disc.......2007-01-13
po-mo psycho dada din.......2006-11-25
This is a great album for multiple reasons. But especially worth it for jazz history fans, and Mingus-heads in particular, because of the final track, an interview of Charles Mingus by Nesuhi Ertegun that must be almost half an hour long. (you'll want to change the genre coding on the one track from jazz to spoken word or something like that, so it doesn't interrupt the flow when you shuffle by genre).
Ertegun asks him why he decided to sing on this album. He explains in his reply that he always sings when he plays, they just happened to mike it for this album. I re-listened to some other Mingus albums and, sure enough, there he is in the background, singing, screaming, talking. I also liked when someone comes in, interrupts the interview, because an important call has come in for Ertegun. Mingus tells him, take your call, don't worry, just leave the tape recorder running and I'll keep talking. And he does.
Great stuff. The music is extraordinary too, it would be worth it even without the interview. He's certainly not a musician who would've become famous for his piano playing and singing. But he's a powerful enough personality and a big enough celebrity to do whatever he wants. I love him as a composer and on bass, with Ah Um probably being the best showcase of his real talents, but this is an excellent display of Mingus' gritty, funky, lax side, what you'd hear if you were lucky enough to hear Mingus and friends entertaining themselves at an after-hours party. "Wam Bam Thank You Ma'am" and "Eat That Chicken" are both tremendous, rollicking fun. "Ecclusiastics" starts off boring but gets fun before it ends. "Oh Lord Don't Let Them Drop that Atomic Bomb on Me" is as intense as you would imagine from the title. Passions of a Man is a nice, odd, proto-psychedelic number. Good fun. Having Roland Kirk and Booker Ervin both soloing on sax adds another unique and welcome layer. Buy it, enjoy it, have fun, be safe.

Album Description
First time worldwide CD release for this 1976 Jazz Fusion album by keyboardist/songwriter Jan Hammer. Featuring musical assistance from bassist Fernando Saunders, drummer Tony Smith and violinist/guitarist Steve Kindler. The album reached #22 on the Billboard Jazz Album charts. Wounded Bird. 2006.Customer Reviews:
One of those flashbacks they always promised..........2007-01-09
Jan Hammer is backed by Jerry Goodman on violin (with whom he did the album "Like Children" earlier), and had worked with during his stint with The Mahavishnu Orchestra. Also on board are Fernando Saunders on bass, and Tony Smith on drums, who are currently working with Lou Reed (!).
A precurser to Hammer's work on "Miami Vice", this proves that he was no one-hit (or one soundtrack) wonder.
If you are a fan of electronic keyboards, The Mahavishnu Orchestra, or in-your-face beats, this is a must-have.
Magical!!!.......2007-01-01
An Important Recording.......2006-11-09
I have followed Jan Hammer's career ever since I heard "Led Boots" by Jeff Beck and found out about it was he who played on Jeff Beck's "Wired" album. Always a fun album to listen to!

Probably their best.........2005-09-23
Usually, I'm a bit wary of any artist that tries to copy the Fab Four to a tee. The Spongetones are an exception. At least, they are a tad more genuine than yer run of the mill, low-rent, power pop, Beatles clone.
The vox are a little like Macca's and music is early day Beatles- but no so much that they are copy cats.
The bottomline, Beatles references aside, the songwriting is fairly top notch and catchy. Most songs are under 3 minutes; only a couple are over 3 minutes (and one of those is an 'epic' 4 and a half minutes in length).
Good stuff.
You bet, Oh Yeah, indeed.......2003-07-17
The album cuts and the musicianship definitely gives this record the five stars it deserves. There's the fast rockin' tunes and there's the ballads. Just by listening to the opening cut, "Not So" lets you know that you're in store for a power poppin' good old time, and the guys slow it down a bit with the sincere, "Return the Boy". The harmonies and that backbeat sound certainly plays homage to the merseybeat sound.
A highly recommended record so check it out now.
