1	Mingus at the Bohemia (1955) more music like this by Charles Mingus A live performance at the Club Bohemia in New York, this is the first Mingus recording to feature mostly his own compositions. Some are his future standards. Here are his first attempts at future techniques such as combining two songs into one. His bass playing really stands out.

2	Weird Nightmare: Meditations on Mingus (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Producer Hal Willner had created a reputation as a fascinating instigator, organizing homages to composers as diverse as Nino Rota and Thelonious Monk wherein he conscripted the services of musicians from all over the stylistic map, allowing them to bring their unique interpretations and approaches to bear on the subjects. For his Charles Mingus ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $10.66!
3	Thirteen Pictures: The Charles Mingus Anthology (1952) more music like this by Charles Mingus It is a thankless and impossible task to sum up the career of Charles Mingus on only two CDs; everyone knows that. But Rhino does have the advantage of being a licensing company, and they did roam far afield for material from most of the important sources, to Atlantic, Debut, Impulse!, United Artists, EmArcy, Mingus' custom Jazz Workshop label, ... see all copies from $16.99! new only from $27.87!
4	Songs Without Words (2001) more music like this by Fred Hersch Fred Hersch's sixth release for Nonesuch is a three-CD set, with separate volumes focusing on original works, classic jazz, and, finally, songs by Cole Porter. His suite of six "Songs Without Words" can't help but highlight his background in classical music, but his lyrical pieces still have the "sound of surprise" that differentiates jazz from ... see all copies from $30.24! new only from $30.24!
5	Charles Mingus and Friends in Concert (1972) more music like this by Charles Mingus Most of Charles Mingus's larger-group recordings, particularly in the later part of his career, tended to be unruly and somewhat undisciplined. This two-CD reissue set (which adds five selections to the original two-LP program), which celebrated Mingus's return to jazz after six years of little activity. Such great jazzmen as baritonist Gerry ... see all copies from $13.00!

7	Gunslinging Bird (1995) more music like this by Mingus Big Band The Mingus Big Band had been together four years when they recorded this set while on a European tour. The musicians had mastered the great bassist's music, resulting in versions of a variety of Mingus classics that rank with the originals. The largely all-star 15-piece band includes such names as trumpeters Randy Brecker, Phillip Harper and Ryan ... see all copies from $14.24! new only from $14.24!

9	Alto Blue (1997) more music like this by Steve Slagle Steve Slagle, who has a very appealing tone on alto, strong technique, and a style that is quite versatile, performs seven blues on this exciting set, as well as a flute feature on "Detour Ahead." By varying tempos and grooves (ranging from bebop to Ornette Coleman and a bit of funk), each song manages to have its own personality and a mundane ... see all copies from $16.41! new only from $16.41!

11 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Charles Mingus (2007) more music like this by Charles Mingus Tasked with assembling a Charles Mingus compilation for the discount-priced best-of series 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection by drawing selections from the multi-label archives of Universal Music, producer Pat Lawrence understandably has relied mostly on the Impulse! catalog in choosing tracks from albums originally released between ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $7.51!
12 view cover	The Individualist (2006) more music like this by Charles Mingus Charles Mingus was certainly recognized as an individualist, but his legendary status is derived more from his brilliant compositions than from his bass playing. As such, this double CD with 20 tracks falls short of the real Mingus who the jazz world knew and still reveres. Though his playing is always first rate on a series of standards and bop ... see all copies from $11.27! new only from $11.27!
