Charles Mingus - Open Letter To Duke free for downloading

I love this number, thanks much for posting this. Nice job.

I agree, one of the greatest albums ever... I still have it in vinyl!!!

A favorite of mine since 1959!

Such an underrated jazz piece, it's a pity that this isn't well-known. Even among jazz enthusiasts.

One of the greatest albums EVER!! Any time,by anyone,in any genre or category. It sounds just as fresh,fifty-one(!)years after it's recording....Booker Ervin,certainly one of the unsung heroes of the tenor,is absolutely on fire throughout the album.This is one for the time capsule.

My roommates never complain when I turn this up. Funny, that...
