Chart of the Week: WESU Loves Charles Mingus

Normally I just give you the chart, but this week we have Charles Mingus topping the charts on the strength of his new box-set that we were lucky enough to get at a discount from the record label. Mingus is one of the greatest geniuses in music history--and one of the craziest. Here's his Cat Toilet Training Program ("The main thing to remember is not to rush or confuse him"!). Here's a nice post about the time he punched trombonist Jimmy Knepper on stage. Now, on to the charts!
