Charles Mingus
Passions of a Man: The Complete Atlantic Recordings (1956-1961) presents an interesting problem.

Charles Mingus
The task of choosing the best work of Charles Mingus would be a daunting one. There's literally so much good material in a number of different settings, that the "best" of Charles Mingus could never be contained on one CD.
