Charlie Mingus is my favorite jazz artist. The complexity of the orchestration and especially the way he uses trombones in his band completely blows me away. Whenever I am in NYC, I go to see the Mingus Big Band. There are a number of good sites on Mingus; the one I mentioned in the title of this post, The Charlie Mingus Home Page, and a discography on Amazon.
As I listen, I will post the albums on the left hand side of this blog.
