band / ensemble / orchestraAbout
A raucous big bandplaying old and new arrangements that capture the best parts of the Mingus legacy: the muscle, the affection for history, the willingness to take chances, the guts and soulfulness. Mingus, who died in 1979, was a gargantuan figure in jazz, combining the most downhome blues and gospel with the most advanced harmonies and the freest impulses of his era. (Jon Pareles, NY Times)
