Billboard said of this album at the time: "He is everywhere except on his usual instrument." Charles Mingus, one of the most impressive bassists in jazz history, for once does not play a note on the bass, but leads the band from the (blues) piano - the instrument on which he always composed. He bangs the keys, he sings the blues, he screams and he encourages - Mingus obviously felt a very special need for expression with this album project. (Doug Watkins represents him on the double bass.) "Oh Yeah" is indeed one of Mingus' strongest and most passionate albums.
He has two hot, intense saxophonists with him - Roland Kirk and Booker Ervin - as well as Jimmy Knepper on trombone. Kirk is the main soloist, but all three wind players deliver expressive improvisations, constantly commenting on each other, building each other's energy to maximum. The music is wild and ecstatic, but it is not free jazz, but remains grounded in blues and gospel. "Hog Callin' Blues" is a gripping shuffle with lots of riffs, "Devil Woman" is a clever slow blues with original wind figures.
"Ecclusiastics" has the most complex form, with its constant changes in rhythm and expression between gospel and blues. The blues have always been a part of black worship, said Mingus. "Eat That Chicken" (a homage to Fats Waller's favorite meal) even plays with an old-time and Dixie feel. There is never a shortage of humor. Even the atom bomb song (also a kind of church blues) says: "Don't let 'em drop it! Stop it! Be-bop it!"
