"It was written for Celia, my ex-wife, although I wrote it before she was my ex-wife.
I used the Key of C; also a one-note form like Duke had done on C-Jam Blues."

In the notes for the album The Clown recorded by Atlantic on March 13, 1957, Mingus said
of his repertoire: "Some of the guys had been saying that I didn't swing. So I made some
(compositions) that did. This album (The Clown) is a standard blues. It's in two keys C and Bb - but that's not noticeable and it ends up in C, basically. I heard some Basie in it
and also some church-like feeling." While Mingus never did play Blue Cee again, he went on
to write many more compositions based on the blues.
Mingus' use of repeated notes helps create the blue mood of this piece. Also note the effective
use of bitter dissonances in the last phrase. The second chord in bar 10 may also be played as Db9.
The above example notates the wailing riff which is played after all solos and before the return of
the head.

After East Coasting was composed for a Bethlehem recording date in August, 1957, Mingus seems never to
have played it again. Although Mingus grew up on the West Coast, critics and historians have associated his
approach with those living near the Atlantic shore. However, the composer has stated:
"Whatever coast he's on, a man should be himself.
I don't write in any particular idiom, I write Charles Mingus."
In this piece Mingus devises an unusual form in which boppish phrases traverse through a labyrinth of
tonalities. Within each phrase are internal and cross references which distinguish most of Mingus' melodies.
Its structure may be represented as:
8 bars
4 bars
A
B1
4 bars
B2
4 bars
4 bars
C (derived from the intro)

D
8 bars
4 bars
4 bars
B1
B3
The desired effect of the introduction and C is created by doodle tonguing on brass instruments.
Saxophonists should utilize Lester Young's trademark technique of rhythmically applying alternate
fingerings to one note.

he readerlperformer is advised to listen first to the Columbia

version of Fables Of Faubus where the form is clear and
concise; then to study the Candid version which introduces
the lyrics and more extended solos; and finally to follow the
remarkable Fantasy/Debut recording featuring Clifford Jordan
which is an example of true innovation and clearly shows that
Mingus was in advance of all his contemporaries, including John
Coltrane, Ornette Coleman and John Cage.
Pepper Adams was the first musician to devote a whole album to
Mingus' compositions. The great baritone saxophonist
commissioned Thad Jones to write an arrangement of Fables Of
Faubus for a session issued by Motown Records in September,
1963. Unfortunately, the disc was poorly distributed and is
considered a collector's item today.
In later performances, Mingus changed the title to celebrate other
political leaders, such as: Nix On Nixon and Oh, Lord, Help Mr.
Ford. Recently, French poet and troubadour Claude Nougaro
recorded Fables under the title Harlem.
Often, Mingus used the following background lines-played or
sung by his musicians-to support the soloists. In example 1, with
two or more background horns, X may be repeated by one voice
while the other continues at Y.

Opus Four features phrase lengths of 2, 5, 6 and 10 bars.

Structurally, the Latinish interlude serves to conclude each of the A B A sections. At A and D,
Mingus slips us his favorite progression in his favorite key Fmin | DbMaj7 | Gm7(b5) | C7/Gb7 |
The upwardly chromatic major-seventh chords support a melody ranging over two octaves.
The Latinish figure may be used as a fade-away vamp to end the piece.
Officially recorded by Atlantic on October 29, 1973, Opus Four may have been premiered
at the Village Vanguard on August 4, 1973, as No Name.

Album Name: Mingus Plays Piano, Spontaneous Compositions and Improvisations Label: Impulse
Album Name: Mingus At Monterey Label: Jazz Workshop
Album Name: Changes Two Label: Atlantic
Album Name: Charles Mingus Sextet Label: East Coasting
"It was written for a Robert Herridge television show. It's about a talented composer who meets a rich girl that
tries to ruin his life. She doesn't have anything to offer him but money, so she asks him to write a song and dedicate
it to her dress, which was orange. She knew that nothing rhymes with 'orange'."
Orange... was first recorded on July 30, 1963, by Impulse as a piano solo. However, neither this nor another
composition, Song With Orange, of which Mingus speaks in the quote above, shares many similarities with the
version later played as an ensemble piece in Scandinavia at the start of a European tour in the spring of 1964.
The earliest commercial recording of the band arrangement is from a concert in Paris on April 17, 1964 (Salle
Wagram) which was issued by America. However, the best version was recorded at the Monterey Jazz Festival
on September 20, 1964, by Jazz Workshop. The only studio version was recorded by Atlantic on December 30,
1974. Orange remained in Mingus' repertoire until the end of the European tour in the fall of 1976.
This is another neglected Mingus composition - probably because many found it too difficult to play. The notes
themselves are not difficult, but the conception is complex. Usually the opening chorus represents the standard
rendition of a jazz theme. However, on the Jazz Workshop recording from the Monterey Jazz Festival, Mingus
launches into a free and creative stretching of tune and tempo. Only after the solo choruses does Mingus give us
a clear demarcation of the melody. This transcription is based on that final chorus, or re-capitulation, where the
melody is played in tempo and en forme. Returning to the opening chorus, one now understands:
A is played at a medium tempo the first time but much slower on the repeat; the first two bars of B can be played
in a double-time Latin rhythm and may become a repeated vamp as well; C may be stretched out by pausing on
each tonal center or by giving each chord more beats. Mingus uses an arsenal of devices during the solo choruses,
including: stop time figures, tempo changes, mood changes and the aforementioned stretching of form.
Throughout the performance, a hook figure [ e q e h ] becomes a rallying point for the ensemble.
The overall form AAB may be analyzed as follows:
A = a (4 bars) b (2 bars) c (vamp - 2 bars) a1 ( 3 bars -includes hook) Note: The entire 11-bar A section follows
the geneal tonal structure of the blues.
B = d (2 bars) e (2 bars) f (2 bars) a2 (adds a bar in front)
For the ending Mingus vamps the hook figure and then reprises the introduction. The following shows the
background figure used on the A and B section. Remember: these Mingus performances serve as inspiration it is not necessary to re-create them note-for-note.
In the following examples, A gives the background riff used for the first six bars and B shows another riff which
is used to accompany both melody and solos. Note that this riff is written in cut-time as Mingus would often have
the rhythem section go into a double time latinish rhythm here. During solos, these measures might be vamped
extensively on to the hook figure.

"In a way it's a tribute to Duke."

Depending on the occasion, Mingus has said that the title Us Is Two referred to the United States and
its contradictions (vis-a-vis black/white, rich/poor, saint/devil, two-faced and so on.) Or that it referred
to himself as a black citizen demanding recognition (the alternate spelling Us Is Too). Or that it was a
tribute to Duke Ellington. Or that it was all of these.
Premiered at the Village Vanguard on September 14, 1971, and only recorded in concert by Columbia
on February 4, 1972, Us Is Two never became well known among Mingus' works. Perhaps its inclusion
in this collection will bring its attention to more musicians.

* after solos, both voices enter together and play both times
"This was based on a form of music I heard as a kid. My mother used to go to church on Wednesday night. There
was always clapping of hands and shouting. Methodist or Holiness Church. Holiness was a little louder in order
to stir up the spirits, the dead spirits. People went into trances. Women shouted and rolled on the floor. My mother
never did that, but she went."
Wednesday night prayer meeting must be the grandfather of all triple-meter, gospel-soul-funk-jazz compositions.
The elder cousin of Better Get Hit in Your Soul and Slop. Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting was first recorded for
MGM/Verve on March 18, 1958, in order to accompany a poetry reading by Langston Hughes. Extended versions
were later recorded in a studio for Atlantic on February 4, 1959; at a jazz festival concert in Antibes -Juan-les-pins,
France on July 13, 1960; and once again in the Atlantic studios on January 23, 1978. For this last recording,
Mingus composed a new counter-melody, in addition to the two themes included in this lead sheet.
