band / ensemble / orchestraAbout
Our perennially popular Mingus Monday residency continues to revive and reinvent the music of the legendary bassist, composer and bandleader Charles Mingus (19221979). The excitement continues tonight with two blazing sets by the GRAMMY Awardwinning Mingus Big Band. Since his death in 1979, Mingus alumni and younger recruits have continued to play his vast jazz and contemporaryclassical repertoire, a body of work comparable in scope and invention to Duke Ellingtons.
