Astral Weeks (Charles Mingus album)

Astral Weeks is an unauthorized bootleg album of Charles Mingus' music, released by "Moon Records" in Italy on vinyl and CD in 1990. The material was recorded live in Copenhagen, on April 14, 1964, during Mingus's European tour that month.

Personnel:

The release contains only two tracks: "Fables of Faubus" and "Meditations", although the full performance of his group's music that day also included other compositions that are absent from the Moon releases.

The bootleg was titled after the existing Van Morrison album Astral Weeks. Mingus himself had no role in the naming or creation of this release, as it was an unauthorized appropriation of already-circulating material created long after his death.
