Cumbia & Jazz Fusion is an album by Charles Mingus recorded for the Atlantic label in 1977. It features two extended compositions written for the film Todo Modo by Mingus and performed by large ensembles featuring Jack Walrath, Jimmy Knepper, Paul Jeffrey, Ricky Ford, Dannie Richmond, Candido, Ray Mantilla, George Adams and Danny Mixon. The first two tracks on the album were inspired by Colombian Cumbia.[3] The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "The music is episodic but generally holds its own away from the film".[4] The CD reissue added two solo performances by Mingus on piano.
