*Mingus Ah Um*, featuring an all-star group including **Jimmy Knepper**, **John Handy**, **Booker Ervin** and **Curtis Porter** (aka **Shafi Hadi**), was **Charles Mingus**' first LP for *Columbia* released in 1959. The album is part of *the Jean-Pierre Leloir Collection*,

*Leonard Feather* gave the 180 gram LP album a five-star rating in *Down Beat*, stating: "It seems to me that **Mingus** has now completely found himself, found a personal and vital direction. **Mingus** has something to say, knows how and through whom to say it, and it is all stated with communicative authority."
