{"product_id":"charles-mingus-oh-yeah-spain-import","title":"Charles Mingus - Oh Yeah [Spain Import]","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn Oh Yeah, Charles Mingus handed the bass to Doug Watkins and took over piano and vocals, due here as a limited 180 gram Spanish import with a bonus track.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is one of the rowdiest, funniest records of his career. Recorded at Atlantic Studios in New York and released in 1962 with Nesuhi Ertegun producing, it gathers a fearsome band: Rahsaan Roland Kirk on flute, siren, tenor saxophone, manzello and stritch, Booker Ervin on tenor, Jimmy Knepper on trombone and Dannie Richmond on drums. Freed from his usual instrument, Mingus steers from the keyboard and lets his gospel-soaked holler lead the charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Hog Callin' Blues\" opens with honking horns and Kirk's wild multi-instrument assault, a down-home blues turned joyful riot. \"Devil Woman\" slows to a smoky, nearly ten-minute blues crawl. \"Oh Lord Don't Let Them Drop That Atomic Bomb on Me\" is gallows humor straight out of the Cold War, part plea, part punchline, while \"Eat That Chicken\" bounces on a good-natured, old-timey stomp that recalls the stride-piano era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOh Yeah shows the loose, unfiltered side of Mingus, soulful to the core and very funny. For anyone who thinks jazz always has to be serious and solemn, this record makes a loud, persuasive counterargument.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57139170902321,"sku":"8436563187285","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Charles_Mingus-Oh_Yeah_Spain_Import.jpg?v=1793087997","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/charles-mingus-oh-yeah-spain-import","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
