Commenting on this album in 1962, Billboard
magazine wrote: ?He seems to be everywhere,
everywhere that is but on his usual instrument?.
Charles Mingus, one of the most impressive
musicians in the history of jazz, doesn?t play a
single note on the bass for a change, but leads
the band from his (blues-)piano ? the instrument
that he always used for composing. He hits the
keys, he sings the blues, he shouts and he
encourages ? apparently Mingus really found the
need to express himself loudly in this album.
(Doug Watkins stood in for him on the contrabass.)
'Oh Yeah' is definitely Mingus?s most powerful
and passionate album. He calls on two hot,
intensive saxophonists ? Roland Kirk and Booker
Ervin ? as well as Jimmy Knepper on the trombone.
Kirk is the main soloist, but all three
wind-players deliver expressive improvisations,
carrying out a non-stop dialogue with one another,
and pushing one other to achieve maximum energy.
The music is wild and ecstatic, but it?s not free
jazz, remaining ? as it does ? grounded in blues
and gospel. 'Hog Callin? Blues' is an enthralling
shuffle with a wealth of riffs, 'Devil Woman' a
clever slow blues with inventive wind figures.
'Ecclusiastics', with its constant change of
rhythm and expression alternating between gospel
and blues has the most complex form. Blues has
always been a part of a black church service, said
Mingus. 'Eat That Chicken' (a homage to Fats
Waller and his favourite food) even plays around
with an old-time, Dixie feeling. Humour is never
far away. Even in the atomic bomb song (this too,
a sort of churchy blues) one hears the words:
?Don?t let ?em drop it! Stop it! Be-bop it!?
