Mingus Big Band
Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, W1D 4HT , [Venue Details]The acclaimed 14-piece Mingus Big Band returns to celebrate the enduring musical legacy of composer, bassist and visionary Charles Mingus.
Created in 1991 by Sue Mingus, the ensemble grew out of the posthumous Mingus Dynasty and Epitaph projects, bringing to life the larger-scale arrangements and expansive ensemble sound that Mingus himself long envisioned.
For more than three decades, the band’s weekly New York residency and ever-evolving line-up of leading established players and rising stars have kept Mingus’ music alive. Blending the raw soulfulness of hard bop, gospel and blues with the freedom of avant-garde jazz and the sophistication of classical composition, Mingus’ music remains as powerful and uncompromising as ever, a reflection of an artist whose influence transcends jazz.
With twelve recordings to their name, including the Grammy-winning Live at Jazz Standard and the Grammy-nominated The Charles Mingus Centennial Sessions, the Mingus Big Band continues to reinterpret this extraordinary catalogue with energy, imagination and individuality. Expect explosive ensemble playing, daring improvisation and a fitting tribute to one of the most important voices in modern music.
