Charles Mingus |
Musician/band
Jazz: CHARLES MINGUS Charles Mingus — one of the most important figures in twentieth century American music — wrote music that is still far ahead of its time. A virtuoso bass player, accomplished pianist, bandleader and composer, Mingus recorded over a hundred albums and wrote over three hundred compositions, leaving the second-largest legacy in American music after Ellington. Mingus received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, The Smithsonian Institute, and the Guggenheim Foundation. Following his death in 1979 from ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), the Library of Congress acquired his entire catalog of work including original scores, recording tapes, and personal effects. An NEH grant enabled the cataloging of all his compositions. Microfilm copies were donated to the New York Public Library. He has also been honored with a US Postage stamp. The critical and popular success of the Mingus repertory bands testifies to the power of Mingus composition. The availability of his music through published arThe weekly Monday Mingus show at the Jazz Standard is New York’s most transcendent weekly residency. It’s probably the best in the entire world. -Lucid Culture, July 27, 2009 MINGUS MONDAYS AT JAZZ STANDARD in NYC.
