  8. Charles Mingus Interviewed By Nesuhi Ertegun

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 Greilsamer

5 out of 5 stars I know it's good all around, but...........2007-05-07

I love this album for all the noise brought on the first track, "Hog callin' Blues." It's so loose and all over the place a friend of mine who'd never heard of Mingus before, but said he liked jazz said, "it sounds like the warmup." I just shook my head, it's just so much fun to listen to and imagine Mingus going nuts onstage and in the studio. I bop my head to it subconsciously a bit and then when I realize it, I keep it up because the song is so much fun. I can't imagine living another day without that groove in my head. As for the rest, it's all fun, weird, and funny, but for me, the first track is the moneymaker.

4 out of 5 stars Who Says Humor and Jazz Are Mutually Exclusive?.......2007-04-10

This recording in part defines why I love Mingus so much, the man was a MAJOR risk-taker! Never content to sit in one area for long, Mingus not only went out ona limb, but had a lot of fun doing it, you can feel the joy as you listen, and judging by the musicians performances, the joy was contagious!

"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.

5 out of 5 stars Best Mingus Disc.......2007-01-13

While Mingus Ah Um and The Black Saint & the Sinner Lady get the most attention (and hey, they're great), Oh Yeah is my favorite Mingus album EVER. He drops bass in favor of piano, and he's quite a capable pianist too. He adds interesting vocals to a few of the album's high points (Devil Woman; the hilarious, pseudo-novelty throwback Eat That Chicken). This is the best example of Mingus exploring his gospel/blues roots, and that's where the guy's at his best. Packed with excellent tunes, my favorites are Hog Callin' Blues; Devil Woman; Oh Lord Please Don't Let Them Drop That Atomic Bomb on Me; Eat That Chicken and Passions of a Man

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars Do you want this cd? Oh Yeah!.......2003-06-28

I saw Theresa on the Sandy Beaches cruise, and bought her new album immediately, and have also given some as gifts. The woman can SANG! She has a Bonnie Raitt-ish quality to her voice, and her songs are fun and catchy. My favorites on this album are The Winds of Change, Why Does the Wind Cry the Blues, and All That I Am. It's a great blues album- I highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars This woman's got the blues!!!.......2003-03-31

I first had the pleasure of hearing Teresa & the Rhythm Tramps on Delbert McClinton's Sandy Beaches Cruise in the Carribbean. Her ENTIRE BAND is unbelievably good! I bought all three of her albums on the ship, and I plan to see her as often as possible, whenever possible. Especially noteable on this album are the tracks; Come Up & See Me Sometime, I'll Find Someone Who Will & May You Never. (Jerry Peterson on Sax is a real treat, he plays two saxes at once!)

5 out of 5 stars TAKES YOUR BREATH AWAY.......2003-02-13

I bought and gave her CD's for xmas presents this year... that's how much their music impressed me. She is WONDERFUL in a live performance. Her entire band has energy - if you sit down while in the same room with them then you must not be able to hear the music!

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:

5 out of 5 stars One of those flashbacks they always promised..........2007-01-09

Yes, I still have my original vinyl copy. "Oh, Yeah?" got constant play when first released back in 1976. Tight, with amazing time changes & incredible hooks, this one wins over everyone who hears it.

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.

5 out of 5 stars Magical!!!.......2007-01-01

Listening to this album is pure joy! Jan Hammer is one of the most brilliant, inventive keyboard soloists in modern music. His enthusiasm and personality trancend his chosen instrument (the moog synthesizer)to inspire the listener and accompanying musicians. Equally brilliant are guitarist/violinist Steve Kindler, and bassist Fernando Saunders. Included are a few of Hammer's ingenious compositions Magical Dog, Bambu Forest, and Red and Orange. My personal favorite is Rick Laird's lyrical tune Evolove. Check out Kindler's infectious rhythm guitar tracks on this piece, and on the funky title tune. Great solos abound as well. This album obtains a perfect balance of progressive compositional sensibilities and r&b earthiness. Recommended!

5 out of 5 stars An Important Recording.......2006-11-09

I ordered this to replace my vinyl, have been waiting years for this to be released on CD and highly recommend this CD for many reasons. First, this is one of those "important" records of the Fusion era. "Magical Dog," the opening track, is written and brilliantly improvised in 11/8 time at a very fast tempo. This was ground-breaking in the 1970's and other tracks are written in odd time signatures. Second, Jan Hammer's use of lead synthesizer and unusual instrument line-up. This is fresh to listen to even now. All the musicians are on this recording are top-notch, extremely technical and talented--and went on to work with many other important musicians. It's very difficult to classify this as anything but "Fusion" and even then that's a stretch with pop-type songs inserted.

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!

5 out of 5 stars Oh, Yeah? Oh, Yeah!.......2006-11-08

I've had this recording on vinyl since about 1978. It's the only Jan Hammer I own, so I can't fairly compare it to anything else of his. But I love it. You would be hard-pressed to call it "jazz" per se--actually it's much closer to being a rock recording. What a combination, though! Synthesizers galore, violin (Steven Kindler), bass (Fernando Saunders), and a drummer (Tony Smith) who sings lead vocals on a couple of cuts! He has a light soul voice that adds yet another dimension to this very diverse recording. I can't understand why it took so long for someone to release "Oh, Yeah" on CD, but I guess the popularity and recognition of the Miami Vice soundtrack, which Jan Hammer wrote and performed kind of precludes everything else. Whatever. Now it's available, and at a very reasonable price. No fancy liner notes or bonus tracks, but the remastered recording (by Jan Hammer himself) sounds fabulous. Chant along and enjoy-"Oh, yeah?...Oh, yeah!"

4 out of 5 stars Probably their best.........2005-09-23

I haven't heard all their albums, but I think it's a fair guess this album is likely their best.

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.

5 out of 5 stars You bet, Oh Yeah, indeed.......2003-07-17

The Spongetones captured the spirit of The Beatles sound and spirit circa '64 and '65. A great record to really rev you up and livin' up your day, and get you cuttin' up a rug on the dance floor. I've never caught this band's live performance, but recall reading a review about their first record in the old fanzine, Trouser Press about twenty years ago. However, I was able to listen this record and it is fabulous. I really enjoyed it, and it has certainly made me a fan.

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.

5 out of 5 stars Oh Yeah!.......2000-03-14

The Spongetones have been making wonderful British Invasion music for almost 20 years. Those of us fortunate enough to live near their base of Charlotte, NC have heard these songs live. Of their five releases, "Oh Yeah!" captures the spirit and essence of both the first generation of the British Invasion (Beatles, DC5, Hollies, Searchers, Zombies) and the second generation (Badfinger, The Wackers, The Flame). "Are You Gonna, Do You Need to Love Me" is the great single that should have been number one, if only recorded and released back then. Check out www.spongetone.com (note singular)for more info. This is an unpaid testimonial.

4 out of 5 stars great.......1999-04-12

I bought this CD when it first came out and was immediately impressed. It brings out the sounds of many '60's British Invasion bands, including The Beatles, Dave Clark 5, The Kinks, etc. "Nothing Left to Hide" and "Stupid Heart" are two of my favorites, and could've been hits in the 1960's. However, the CD "Beat and Torn" is even better.

This is one of my favorites! Their song writing skills gel on this baby. If your a beatle fan, then this is a must. Great work Jamie Hoover!!!

4 out of 5 stars A Midwest Music Fans Dream.......2005-11-10

Me being from Chicago this collection was a blessing....had some of the best Chicago groups featured and a few from other parts of Illinois. Stuff like "Last Time Around", "Oh yeah" and "The Girl I Threw Away" are all worth while, great tracks. But above all the Warner Brothers song, "I Won't Be The Same Without Her" (Yes this is the same song as the Monkees, I actually think this was released before the Monkees version) is on of the better songs I have heard in a long time. I have played it 142 times on my WMP and still playing it. All in all a great CD, worth the money, and if u wanna get into the midwest garage scene this is a good first step.

4 out of 5 stars pitty that nobody would hear it.......2006-10-01

It is kind of a tragic destiny for artists coming from the "outer world", far away from showbiz mainstream. Rundek, who is Croatian, and his multinational band based in Paris, France, have a very little chance to be recognized anywhere than in his hometown Zagreb. Personaly I would like to hear them playing at the Stone NYC, or at the Tonic,or at the Knitting Factory. If heard by someone from the downtown music circle, they maybe would not make big money, but it would definitely result with some big music. And that is what it should be about.
