Mingus Dynasty is a jazz album by Charles Mingus, recorded in 1959 for Columbia Records. It is the companion album to his other 1959 record Mingus Ah Um and was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. The album title references the Ming Dynasty and harkens to Mingus' Chinese ancestry. Tracks 1, 3, 4 and 5 would be originally released in their incomplete form, otherwise they wouldn't fit into a single LP. They were first released in their unedited form only in 1979 on vinyl, and in 1999 on CD. The cuts amount to about 8 minutes.
All compositions by Charles Mingus except where noted.
In 2009 Sony's Legacy Recordings released a special 2-disc 50th Anniversary Edition of Mingus's seminal 1959 album Mingus Ah Um that also includes Mingus Dynasty in its entirety on the second disc.
