Charles Mingus is recognized as a major 20th century composer, whose entire works have been acquired by the Library of Congress - a first for jazz, and a first for an African-American composer. Mingus left behind the largest legacy of composition in American music after Duke Ellington. The Mingus Bands remain devoted to this vast repertoire, and under the artistic direction of Sue Mingus, play to great critical acclaim around the world.


The Mingus Bands are available for concerts, residencies, master classes and commissions.
