JazzTimes video premiere - "Dizzy Moods" by Mingus Big Band
“Dizzy Moods” by Charles Mingus, performed by Mingus Big Band on April 18, 2022 at The Django in NYC. In honor of Mingus' Centennial and rerelease of Mingus Three with RHINO.
Listen to this seminal work adapted 65 years later for Sue Mingus’ fourteen-piece ensemble; take home the record to experience how Mingus first developed this composition in a 1957 trio setting.
JazzTimes video premiere features Charles Mingus’s 1927 Roth “Lion’s Head” Bass - this bass was used on the original Mingus Three recording and on almost all of Mingus’s major recordings throughout his career.
