AH UM - title
I think this title refers rather to a sort of "black" vernacular rendition of "I am"...giving rather "Mingus I am" and not some Latin grammar schooling. Pray tell where Mingus took Latin?
--I'm no expert on this, but I always assumed that "Ah Um" was AUM, the mantra syllable. This would be by no means inconsistent with Chaz's spirituality, as, for example, the guy had his ashes sprinkled into the Ganges, eh? --Jim Pangborn129.3.36.118 18:32, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
