A celebration the music of esteemed jazz bassist, composer, and bandleader Charles Mingus. A tremendously important figure in the history of jazz, he has written some of the most interesting and iconic jazz standards around. His legacy is upheld by groups like the Mingus Dynasty Band, who very recently performed in Portland, and by musicians everywhere who continue to play his music. If you enjoy this music, please join me at the UP Jazz Band and Octet Concert this Sunday, February 18 at 3:00pm in the Mago Hunt Recital Hall at UP. We’ll be playing all Mingus tunes, and tickets are free, so I hope to see you there.
