The Young Rebel

~ Release by Charles Mingus (see all versions of this release, 3 available)

Annotation

One of the few passably serious effort at compiling early Mingus stuff, this has the advantage over the competition to also present sideman tracks (when compared to West Coast, which only contains Mingus as a leader cuts).
