Charles Mingus - Blues & Roots

Blues and Roots in mono

Limited edition 180-gram vinyl

One of Mingus's best swing albums repressed on limited edition 180-gram mono LP.

"In response to critical carping that his ambitious, evocative music somehow didn't swing enough, Charles Mingus returned to the earthiest and earliest sources of black musical expression, namely the blues, gospel, and old-time New Orleans jazz. The resulting LP, Blues and Roots, isn't quite as wildly eclectic as usual, but it ranks as arguably Mingus' most joyously swinging outing." — AllMusic
