Mingus' indelible footprint as a bandleader/composer/bassist was further enhanced when he developed a platform to advance many of his ideas through his Jazz Workshop.

The UCLA Charles Mingus Ensemble, using compositional and improvisational musical traditions, will utilize many of his musical approaches to develop interpretations of Mingus' compositions and other great Jazz Composers along with compositions outside of the Jazz Canon.

The UCLA Charles Mingus Ensemble directed by Justo Almario with:



Sara Sithi-Amnuai on trumpet

Cody Dear, Alto Sax

Hugo Shiboski, Tenor Sax

Michael Liao, Tenor Sax

Grant Millikan, Vibes



Brandon Bridges, Drums and Congas
