Moanin' is a 1959 jazz composition by Charles Mingus, originally released on his 1960 album Blues & Roots.

Composition

The piece follows an AABA form, with each section lasting sixteen measures. The song's harmony follows a i-♭VImaj7-iim7♭5-V7 chord progression in the key of F minor that Mingus has used on other compositions, including "Jump Monk", "Eulogy For Rudy Williams", "Reincarnation Of A Lovebird", and "Pithecanthropus Erectus".^[1]

Reception

The piece has been described as "wailing and propulsive",^[2] and Pepper Adams' saxophone introduction has been noted as being "iconic."^[3] The song is often used as an example when discussing the collective improvisational textures often found in Mingus' compositions.^[4]

Personnel

Personnel adapted from Charles Mingus' official website.^[5]
