oh yeah Ah Um an amazing album, no doubt! That and Black Saint are probably the most fully-realized albums of his. Though, my favorite music of his is the live stuff with Eric Dolphy.

Ah Um is definitely hurt for me by the fact that about 4/7 of the album was rerecorded later as Mingusx5 in superior versions. Overall Mingus is probably my favorite of this group, ironically enough.
Maybe the poll options should have been "Giants Steps" "So What" "Lonely Woman" and "Goodbye Porkpie Hat" though.
