Mingus Big Band
band / ensemble / orchestraAbout
Each time I see him, whenever I think of him, I realize again how uncategorizable the man and his music are. Having put all of his complicated life into what he writes and plays, Mingus has given us a remarkable musical autobiography the record of a man who has persisted in finding his own way by continually penetrating as deeply as he can into the possibilities, the dangers, the confusions, the affirmations of an uncompromising existence among many who regard such fierce honesty as an aberration. Nat Hentoff, from his liner notes for The Best of Charles Mingus (Atlantic, 1970)
