Charles Mingus brought fire and energy to the jazz world that had never been seen before!
His compositions and the personnel in his bands were all thoroughly steeped in the swinging blues/jazz traditions, yet fiercely modern and avant guard for their time.
Sydney baritone saxophonist Steve Fitzmaurice has brought these compositions to life again with his arrangements of the Mingus repertoire for the 9 piece powerhouse ensemble 'Mingus Amongst Us'Drums: Michael Quigley
Bass: Hannah James Piano: Michael Azzopardi Trombone: Dan Barnett Trombone: James Greening Trumpet: Ray Cassar Alto saxophone: Tessie Overmeyer Tenor Saxophone: David Theak Baritone Saxophone: Steve Fitzmaurice
'Mingus Amongst Us' perfectly captures the raucous, fiery energy that Mingus and his compositions were famous for.
