Биография

The Mingus Big Band celebrates the music of composer/bassist Charles Mingus who died in 1979. Under the artistic direction of Sue Mingus, this 14-piece band was created to feature new arrangements of Mingus compositions that encouraged deep explorations and ideations of Mingus Music and individual artistic expression in a dynamic ensemble. The band has held down a weekly residency in New York City since 1991, first Thursday nights at Fez under Time Cafe, then Joe’s Pub, City Hall, Iridium, and landing finally at Jazz Standard. Alternating with the Mingus Orchestra and Mingus Dynasty, Mingus Mondays at Jazz Standard became a NYC institution and Monday night stronghold for over 11 years, halted only by the COVID-19 pandemic. Featuring a rotation of the best musicians in the world, the Mingus Big Band is highly sought-after by festivals and prestigious venues around the world. The band has eleven recordings to its credit, six nominated for Grammys, and won in 2011 with Live at Jazz Standard. A new album, The Charles Mingus Centennial Sessions, will be released in 2022 and June 2023 kicked a new Monday residency at DROM.
