Album DescriptionThough he's been dead for over 20 years now, Charles Mingus was without a doubt the greatest bass and piano-playing composer/ band leader that jazz has ever seen. This seven track collection focuses on the mellower, more poetic side of his recordings while he was at the Candid Records label. Many legendary sidemen are featured on cuts on this compilation, including Booker Ervin (tenor sax), Eric Dolphy (alto sax), Roy Eldridge (trombone) and Ted Curson (trumpet). Includes 'Stormy Weather' and 'Mysterious Blues'. 2000 release. Standard jewel case.
