Bassist Charles Mingus would never qualify as a virtuoso on the piano but his technique was reasonably impressive and his imagination quite brilliant. This unique solo piano CD (which was reissued in 1997) has a few standards ("Body and Soul," "Memories of You" and "I'm Getting Sentimental over You") along with some freely improvised originals, most of which are quite fascinating to hear, as if one were listening to Mingus think aloud.

Tracks:
1. "Myself When I Am Real" – 7:38
2. "I Can't Get Started" (Vernon Duke, Ira Gershwin) – 3:43
3. "Body and Soul" (Frank Eyton, Johnny Green, Edward Heyman, Robert Sour) – 4:35
4. "Roland Kirk's Message" – 2:43
5. "Memories of You" (Eubie Blake, Andy Razaf) – 4:37
6. "She's Just Miss Popular Hybird" - 3:11
7. "Orange Was the Color of Her Dress, Then Silk Blues" – 4:18
8. "Meditations for Moses" - 3:38
9. "Old Portrait" - 3:49
10. "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You" (George Bassman, Ned Washington) – 3:46
11. Compositional Theme Story: "Medleys, Anthems and Folklore" – 8:35
