Charles Mingus | Blues & Roots [Limited Edition Coloured Vinyl Pressing] LP

Responding to criticism that his ambitious, moody music didn’t swing enough, Charles Mingus returned to the earthiest and oldest sources of black musical expression, blues, gospel and old-time jazz from New Orleans. Recorded in 1959 and released in 1960, the LP Blues and Roots is still considered Mingus’ most stirring work and has since become a landmark, perhaps the most soulful in his discography
