Mysterious Blues

~ Release by Charles Mingus (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

As far as one can tell, this is a f* mess, with no logic in the order of tracks.

It seems that the producer of this took each and every available (early) Mingus track and cram it into this, without even bothering checking what came from where.

Avoid?
