Bogus Mingus

(1 out of 5 stars)

"The title of this CD just happens to be the same as the title of Mingus '56 masterpiece for Atlantic records. This is nothing but a cheap Italian bootleg.This CD is a compilation of tracks from "Pithecanthropus Erectus" (Atlantic, 1956), "East Coasting" (Bethlehem, 1957), "Mingus At The Bohemia" (Debut, 1955) and "Charles Mingus Quintet + Max Roach" (Debut, 1955). The sound quality of this disc is inferior too any of the available originals. Do yourself a favour, buy the originals, they will give you the complete sessions in improved audio quality (and in most cases with added bonus material). If you're still looking for a Mingus compilation, go for the "Ken Burns" collection, but be warned, you may get addicted to Charles Mingus and wanting all the originals available!"
