Way Out West celebrates the centenary of iconic jazz bassist and composer Charles Mingus
Charles Mingus’ jazz brought to the fore the collective spirit of New Orleans with the orchestral colours of Duke Ellington at a time when both were being overlooked in the post-bop tradition.
Mingus was born on April 22nd 1922 and this centenary celebration brings together core members of Profiles of Mingus, the band established 25 years ago by Chris Biscoe and Henry Lowther. Most of the arrangements are by Chris, but tonight’s guest, Pete Hurt, will bring his new arrangements of Mingus classics.
