Ah Um.
He isn't Art Blakey, but one piece by this man often began in performance with a long baritone saxophone solo and was titled "Moanin'." That song appeared on an album heavily influenced by church music, including the tracks "Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting" and "My Jelly Roll Soul." This artist behind the album Blues & Roots performed in a trio with Max Roach and Bud Powell, and this man named one song after a former Arkansas governor. That song, "Fables of Faubus," appeared on an album along with his tracks "Better Get It in Your Soul" and a song written as a tribute to Lester Young, "Goodbye Porkpie Hat." For 10 points, name this upright bassist and jazz musician, known for self-titled albums like [His Name] Ah Um.
