CELEBRATE MINGUS with Mingus Big Band and Warner Music/Rhino at DROM NYC - 6/26/23

CELEBRATE MINGUS with Jazz Workshop/Mingus Big Band and Warner Music/Rhino at DROM NYC

A Night Filled With Music From The Newly Released WMG/Rhino Boxset

Changes: The Complete 1970s Atlantic Studio Recordings

2022 marked the 100th birthday of Charles Mingus, whose musical legacy is still ongoing. While his accomplishments as a bassist were startling and innovative, as a composer Mingus was equally inventive. His compositions are now firmly ensconced in jazz’s core repertoire, as evidenced in the stunning new boxset by WMG/Rhino that span Mingus’ final studio recordings for Atlantic Records.

The story of this phase in Mingus’ music – his last phase – begins with the seven recordings in this boxed set. Featuring all of his 1970’s output for Atlantic Records, all configurations of the album include previously unreleased outtakes of “Big Alice”, “The Call” and “Music For Todo Modo”. There is also an extra set of takes of “Big Alice” and “The Call” on an Outtakes disc exclusive to the vinyl format.

To celebrate the release and Mingus’ enduring legacy, please join Mingus Big Band as they play a selection of compositions from these incredible albums live at DROM NYC - Monday, June 26th. Brand New Boxsets will also be on sale along with additional Charles Mingus & Mingus Big Band merch. Family, friends, jazz contemporaries and press will all be in attendance to raise a glass to Charles Mingus, Sue Mingus and the legacy that they built together.
