Mysterious Blues

~ Release by Charles Mingus (see all versions of this release, 4 available)

Annotation

This predates most of Newport Rebels along with other takes from Candid releases of the era.
The status of this is quite unclear. It possibly started its life as a DA Music bootleg, although it now appear to be distributed by Candid in a legit form.
