Jazz Mixes

MIX: A Charles Mingus Special (1945–1962)

‘I’m trying to play the truth of what I am. The reason it’s difficult is because I’m changing all the time.’

In April, NTS made a Charles Mingus mix from his early years:

Celebrating the life and music of Charles Mingus – the American jazz composer, bassist, and bandleader, whose spellbinding technical command and continuous reinvention both changed the face of jazz, and allowed him to transcend it.

If you’re a fan of Mingus, or just a lover of jazz and post bop, you’re in for a treat.
