Mingus Big Band This Week in the BAY! 4/22 - 4/27

kriley918 — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 21:02:43 GMT

If you're a fan of Charles Mingus and you've never heard this band, you won't believe your ears! This legacy band, put together by Mingus' widow, Sue, features all Mingus compositions in big band orchestral arrangements - some of them from Mingus' original pen, some from his original arrangers like Sy Johnson, Gunther Schuller, and John Stubblefield, and some from the talented band members who've studied and played his music for years who stay true to his style. Trust me, you'll LOVE this show.

pre-bird
the black saint and the sinner lady
any album with eric dolphy or rahsaan roland kirk on it
tonight at noon
mingus ah um

epitaph (for those who hate on this album b/c mingus isn't on it need to get over it...this is the best display of his brilliant composing)

I got this and was pretty happy with it... Charles Mingus: Triumph of the Underdog

Learned some, though some of the songs weren't referenced as well as I'd like.
