  • Summary

  • In this week's episode, Matt and Ryan tackle a genre of music that they have been dying to cover for a while: jazz. Ryan had the pick of the album that they were covering in this episode and he went with the 1959 album by Charles Mingus called Mingus Ah Um. This jazz album staple was ranked 380 of the top 500 albums of all time by Rolling Stone. In 2013, this album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

    The guys talk about several things in this review: What is the historical significance of the song Fables of Faubus? How well does the rhythm section do to enhance the music? Is this a good starter album for those who want to explore the genre?
