Charles Mingus

For the first time on vinyl, Charles Mingus's great score for the legendary 1959 directorial debut of John Cassavetes, Shadows. Much has been said about the controversial relationship between these two masters. Shadows would mark the only time Mingus would record music for a feature film; his soundtrack may have been too far ahead of his time.
