“Mingus Monday” continues this month at Jazz Standard, dedicated to the music of legendary bassist, composer and bandleader Charles Mingus (1922–1979). The L.A. Times praised the Grammy Award–winning Mingus Big Band: “A spirited blend of the lush harmonies and boisterous blues sections, inter-woven ensemble passages and sudden tempo shifts that made the late bassist Charles Mingus one of the most challenging and celebrated artists in jazz.”
