Mingus Amongst Us ft. special guest Sandy Evans
When
Thursday 15 December 2022 from 8:30pm to 10:30pm
After over a two-year residency with Foundry616, 'Mingus Amongst Us' will be taking a break at the end of 2022.
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’.
‘Mingus Amongst Us’ perfectly captures the raucous, fiery energy that Mingus and his compositions were famous for!
