The Complete 1959 Columbia Recordings [BOX SET]
Charles Mingus Audio CD (June 9, 1998)
Amazon.com Review
This three-CD box, with its 28 Mingus ensemble tracks, rounds out a portrait of jazz in 1959, a year when Miles Davis recorded Kind of Blue, John Coltrane cut Giant Steps, and Ornette Coleman unloosed The Shape of Jazz to Come. Mingus was on Columbia for a blink, only long enough to cut a couple of LPs (both of which appear here sans the unclean edits that've marred prior reissues). There is so much additional material here that the set warrants easy Best of 1998 kudos and nearly mandates that Mingus fans and jazz lovers one and all replace their prior copies. --Andrew Bartlett
