Charles Mingus
perhaps the greatest jazz b-ssist of all time. an extremely influential and original composer as well.
known for his legendary temper earning him the nickname “the angry man of jazz.” mingus vented his frustration over racial injustice through public protest and occasionally musically. a great example being his brilliant “fables of faubus”, a biting satire of sorts about the racist arkansas governor orval faubus.
he died in 1979 at age 56 of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or lou gehrig’s disease.
if you’re just getting into mingus, i highly recommend his cl-ssic 1959 alb-m mingus ah um. it’s not only one of my favorite jazz alb-ms but his most accessible work.
bruce lee: jaco pastorius is an absolute master and i dig his music, but charles mingus sucks me in more with his soulful sound.
jose contreras: agreed, he’s a more interesting composer. and what a fascinating motherf-cker too.
