CHARLES MINGUS - ALTERNATE MOODS OF TIJUANA (180G IMPORT LP + CD)

Charles Mingus The Alternate Moods Of Tijuana on 180g Import LP + CD

Considered to be among Mingus’ best albums, Tijuana Moods was recorded in the summer of 1957. Inspired by a trip to that well-known city of perdition, songs like "Ysabel’s Table Dance" and "Los Mariachis" were meant to evoke the moods of many a man’s tequila-fueled misadventures there.

The Alternate Moods Of Tijuana is an album of alternative takes from that celebrated session, including an early version of the “Scenes In The City” spoken-word piece with Lonnie Elder.
