'The Complete 1962 Town Hall Concert' is a live album by American bassist, composer and bandleader Charles Mingus, recorded at The Town Hall in New York City. The concert was originally conceived as a 'live workshop' of newly composed music which would be recorded for release by United Artists but rescheduling, lack of rehearsal time, poor sound and interruptions led to the event and subsequent album being considered a disaster. Much of the music intended for the concert/recording was finally realised by conductor Gunther Schuller in a concert in 1989 as Epitaph.
