Mingus. Sometimes he was described as volatile, tender, or misunderstood, but most agree he was a musical genius. In this episode we are taking a look / listen at some of Mingus' music with a different lens and perspective: his dedication pieces. It would have to take a special musician for Charles Mingus to write a composition dedicated to them and that is exactly what we are exploring. One thing is guaranteed - all the music will be fantastic!
