Mingus is good stuff if you like jazz. Best lp to get is 'Mingus Ah Um', or 'Money Jungle' with Max Roach and Duke Ellington.

have you got his ken burns jazz collection? i believe its only 1299 at most u.s music retail stores. it should have a good selection of his "finer" recordings.

jazz list of people to check out also
bobbi humphrey(sounds like air and squarepusher) John luc ponty - uses an electric violin Sun Ra - global goon likes him, he is a very experimental jazz musician.
Rl burnside - blues musician, very good though Stan getz - whatever stan wants, stan gets.. charlie parker - Tito puente check out the ken burns artist roster and go from there for many more jazz musicians

ross: definitely start collecting any of Davis' stuff. You will throughouly enjoy all of it. I'm taking it that you love Bitches Brew? One of the best starter albums to get is Kind of Blue...but if you really want a head fuck similar to Bitches Brew get anything by Thelonius Monk! He's an amazing artist who innovated alot of the stuff you would not normally call ''easy to listen to" jazz. i know this is kind of off the subject to ''charles mingus'', but to be honest w/you if you're starting a jazz collection, you should start w/davis or ellington and then get more into the be-bop and later stuff. i hope i haven't bored you :)

this is all great recommendations people, thanks! Bitches brew, i honestly only have on tape, cuz a friend made it for me, and even still..I really need to pick it up on cd, i have a ton of cds and very few jazz..but there's always a time to start something new. I feel like getting really experimental jazz, the type that may take me a long time to fully appreciate..
