CHARLES MINGUS: ORIGINAL FAUBUS FABLES.

silverwalrus

Charles Mingus's first record on Columbia was the highly regarded Mingus AH Um. Columbia wouldn't allow the lyrics on the record. This rendition with lyrics is on Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus released by Candid Records in 1961. Wikipedia:

The quartet of Mingus, multi-instrumentalist Eric Dolphy, trumpeter Ted Curson, and drummer Dannie Richmond constituted Mingus' core working band at the time, and had been performing the material on this album for weeks at The Showplace in New York

There are several big band videos of Faubus Fables on YouTube. Everyone has an opinion. I am happy to see Mingus compositions performed to this day and that racists remembered as heals.

A comment on the video sets the context:
