Mingus Big Band
A nostalgic, raw big band night.
The Mingus Big Band exclusively performs the music of the renowned American composer, bassist, and activist Charles Mingus. Established by Sue Mingus, this 14-piece ensemble showcases new arrangements of Mingus's compositions in the larger format he envisioned but was often unable to organize during his lifetime. The group's dynamic structure facilitates deep exploration and evolving interpretations of his work, offering a platform for individual artistic expression in the spirit of Mingus's own Jazz Workshop. Featuring a rotating cast of New York City's top established and emerging musicians, the Mingus Big Band is recognized for its spontaneous and creative performances. A multi-GRAMMY nominee with a win in 2011 for Live at Jazz Standard, the ensemble maintains its legacy through the legendary Mingus Mondays residency.
