The Mingus Dynasty (expired event)

WAAPA's Jazz students play a selection on Mingus' most famous works, tinged with soul, hard bop, gospel, free jazz and classical music, in an uplifting tribute concert to this American jazz legend.

Charles Mingus was a firebrand bandleader, virtuoso jazz musician and prolific composer. His music, with its rapid shifts in mood and tempo, blurred the boundaries between improvisation and composition. It is still very much alive and well today, influencing music artists all over the world.

Music Director: Pete Jeavons

Performed by: Mingus Ensemble
