MINGUS PLAYS PIANO
spontaneous compositions and improvisations

Recorded on this day - July 30, 1963

"Listen to Charles Mingus as a pianist -- for the first time -- on record. He is uniquely himself, as this album demonstrates, playing with an impressive range of expressive power. Mingus has developed a person piano style that expresses the more gentle, the more reflective and the more innocent elements of his personality." - Nat Hentoff
