The record

Title: Joni Mitchell - Mingus
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1979, Jazz, Jazz Fusion, Laurel Canyon, California
Matrix #: 5E-505
Condition: Mint (Factory Seal)

Cultural Facts:

  1. Studio Lore: Built from Joni’s direct collaboration with Charles Mingus during the final stretch of his life, with parts shaped while he was already seriously ill.

  2. Media Narrative: The album confused folk fans who wanted the old Joni back, but it showed how far she was willing to leave singer-songwriter expectations behind.

  3. Personal Struggle: Mingus was dying from ALS during this project, losing physical control while still trying to compose, direct, and leave something unfinished behind.

    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).
