Charles Mingus
Wanna know something shameful, i got school'd by a friend today about Charles Mingus, before which i knew nothing of the man, strange that such music can exist and the self professed oracle of music knew nothing about it. No but seriously Charles Mingus has just changed my whole perspective on shit, Pork Pie Hat ???...
Mingus is considered one of the most important composers and performers of jazz, a pioneer in bass technique, and he recorded many highly regarded albums. Dozens of musicians passed through his bands and later went on to impressive careers. Mingus was also influential and creative as a band leader, recruiting talented and sometimes little-known artists whom he assembled into unconventional and revealing configurations.
Nearly as well known as his ambitious music was Mingus' often fearsome temperament, which earned him the nickname "The Angry Man of Jazz." His refusal to compromise his musical integrity led to many on-stage eruptions, exhortations to musicians, and dismissals, heres abit of Boom town..
