Mingus Big Band
band / ensemble / orchestraAbout
Our longrunning Mingus Monday residency resumes tonight with the explosive Mingus Big Band. The musician reached the peak of his fame in the midâ1960s, when his blend of Europeanâinfluenced technical sophistication and fervent, bluesâbased intensity proved enormously popular and influential. Always a stylistic eclectic, he avoided the depersonalized quality that afflicts many artists with varied roots. The force of his personality indeed, his sheer, massive physical presence was always strong, and his music continually reflected the venturesomeness of his musical mind. (John Rockwell, Charles Mingus Dies At 56 NY Times, 1.9.1979)
