The 13th Annual Charles Mingus Virtual Festival starts in 2 weeks from today. Join us in celebration of Mingus Music!

"I remember when interviewers used to ask him, despite the breadth of his legacy, how he fit into traditional categories that included European classical forms, bebop, Dixieland, gospel, Latin rhythms, and the blues—all genres of music he drew upon in his compositions and then transcended. He would look up and sigh: 'Can’t you just call it Mingus music?' ” — Sue Mingus
