Mingus
is the tenth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, and a
collaboration with composer and jazz musician Charles Mingus. Recorded in the
months before his death, it would be Mingus's final musical project; the album
is wholly dedicated to him. Mingus was released on June 13, 1979.[2]
The
album is quite experimental, featuring minimalist jazz, over-plucked, buzzing
acoustic guitars, and even wolves howling through "The Wolf That Lives in
Lindsey". All of the lyrics are by Mitchell, while the music for four of
the songs was composed by Mingus, three being new tunes, a fourth being his
tribute to saxophonist Lester Young from his 1959 classic Mingus Ah Um,
"Goodbye Pork Pie Hat", for which Mitchell wrote a set of lyrics.
As
with the release preceding, Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, Mitchell hired
personnel from jazz fusion group Weather Report, notably bassist Jaco Pastorius
to play on the sessions. Mingus would also mark the first reunion of saxophonist
Wayne Shorter and pianist Herbie Hancock in the studio since recording together
on Shorter's seminal Native Dancer album, featuring Milton Nascimento, released
in September 1974.
The
album is spliced with excerpts, which are labelled "(Rap)", from recordings
provided by Sue Graham Mingus, including a scat singing interplay between Joni
and Mingus, and Charles and Sue arguing over his age at a birthday party. In
"Funeral", Mingus and others discuss how long he'll live and what his
funeral will be like. He refers to the Vedanta Society and asserts that
"I'm going to cut Duke [Ellington]!". "God Must Be a Boogie
Man"—having taken shape two days after his death—was the only song Mingus
was unable to hear. Mitchell suggests in the liner notes that Mingus would have
found it hilarious.
The artwork features several paintings by Mitchell of Mingus. It peaked at #17 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart.
