Full title is: Mingus Ah Um [50th Anniversary Legacy Edition]


In 1959, Mingus arrived at Columbia-and arrived as one of the greatest composers and bandleaders in jazz. This 2-CD set captures his genius at that precious moment in jazz history as you hear Mingus Dynasty and its follow-up, Mingus Ah Um. Four bonus tracks and three alternate takes from the sessions join Mingus's instant classics Goodbye Pork Pie Hat; Better Git It in Your Soul, and Fables of Faubus inspired, inspirational, essential.
