Music Written for Monterey 1965 (subtitled Not Heard... Played in its Entirety, at UCLA) is a live album by American bassist, composer and bandleader Charles Mingus recorded at Royce Hall in Los Angeles and first released on Mingus' own Jazz Workshop label in 1966. The album was rereleased by Sue Mingus on the Sunnyside label in 2006.
The Allmusic review by Jeff Tamarkin awarded the album 3½ stars and stated, "as an adjunct to Mingus' lengthy discography, it's a fascinating and sometimes brilliant entry". Samuel Chell from All About Jazz stated "this recording of the enigmatic, volatile composer's UCLA performance could be regarded as an indispensable "document," filling in another piece of the puzzle that was Charles Mingus while providing privileged insights into the creative process as well as the private, elusive domain known as the "self."
