The Jazz Experiments of Charlie Mingus is an album by jazz bassist and composer Charles Mingus released on the Bethlehem label. The album is a compilation of tracks originally released by Period Records as two 10-inch LP’s entitled Jazzical Moods and co-credited to John LaPorta. Bethlehem Records was a record label based in New York and Hollywood founded by Gus Wildi in 1953. It was bought by King Records in the early 1960s.

I bought this CD through direct mail, moved it from Connecticut to Boston, Massachusetts, to Portland, Oregon, to Rotterdam, Netherlands, to New York City. It was stored in an attic in Somers, Connecticut for three years. I'm currently living with it in Brooklyn.
