NOTE: This version from 2010 includes bonus tracks from other combos that Mingus was a part of. It is not the same as the 2022 release that contains bonus tracks that are outtakes from the sessions for the Mingus, Hawes, Richmond "Trio" release. ( [Mingus Three] Mingus, Charles Feat. Hawes, Hampton & Dannie Richmond Mingus Three) Haven't gone through all of the tracks on both versions yet, so can't say if one is better than the other or if both are worth having.
