love mingus, the clown, , my fav is mingus ah um, self portrait in 3 clours, miles davis dizzie and the rest, i love jazz.

so im reading this book at the moment, bebop by thomas owens. its realy quite good, im also reading the blue note biography and i think these two books go quite wel together, chronologically. i mean.

could anyone recomend any other mingus albums?
ive started getting cd's from my local library, 6 cds wether they are one disk or five disk sets, and it only costs me £4.50 for six, how cool is that-? straight into itunes :) to build up my jazz collection !
