Blue CeeCHARLES MINGUS

Eb lead sheet

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 A 4 bars B1 4 bars B2 4 bars C (derived from the intro) 4 bars D 8 bars A 4 bars B1 4 bars 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.

background figures

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 -

Dmin | BbMaj7 | Em7(b5) | A7/Eb7 |

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.

2 Orange Was The Color of Her Dress, Then Blue Silk

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 usa 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 havethe rhythem section go into a double time latinish rhythm here. During solos, these measures might be vamped extensively on to the hook figure.

"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'."

3Us Is Two

"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.

Wednesday Night Prayer MeetingCHARLES MINGUS

Copyright © 1976 JAZZ WORKSHOP, INC.International Copyright Secured All Rights Reserved

Eb lead sheet

"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.
