The record
Title: Charles Mingus - Soul Fusion
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1978, Jazz, Post-Bop Jazz, Los Angeles, California 5/26
Matrix #: QJ-25171
Condition: VG+ (CC), sounds great, looks great | Members: Charles M (22' - 79')
Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: By the late 1970s, Mingus was suffering from ALS, losing the physical ability to play bass while still fighting to compose and direct music.
- Scene Ecology: Mingus connected gospel, blues, swing, bebop, protest, and collective improvisation, making jazz feel less like style and more like argument.
- Media Narrative: Soul Fusion sits near the end of his life, when Mingus was already being understood as more than a bassist: a composer, bandleader, and volatile American witness.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
