mingus

Still, I find striving for what Mingus describes, and what Davis achieved, a worthwhile goal.

Charles Mingus was onstage with his band when he was told that Lester Young had died.

Surprisingly, jazz legend Charles Mingus wrote a book about how to toilet train a cat.

Seems like one of the libraries that can output Lilypond (like music21, mingus, abjad, or music-suite) would be better for that purpose.

My first time with it, excellent stuff, but not topping Mingus Ah Um!

A pal's network used jazz musicians (mingus, monk).

People do not still listen to Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis and Charles Mingus The fact that these musicians are not played despite producing 'good music' refutes the author's thesis.

Duke was groundbreaking, but even without him there would have still been Billy Strayhorn and Charles Mingus and Thad Jones pushing the same boundaries of group writing and harmony, to name just a few.

I've been on a Jazz kick since listening to an episode of Kirk Hamilton's Strong Songs podcast about John Williams[1]—which was an excellent listen and I learned tons—that touched on Jazz and Mingus in particular.

People do not still listen to Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis and Charles Mingus because they were massively better than the pre-bop era musicians, it's simply because they are the first musicians which resemble modern jazz simply because they were hugely influential in creating it.

Q: bach A: has a very small amount of info and a cute timeline of birth and death <same for charles mingus, and ozzy osbourne> Q: bach english suites A: Wolfram|Alpha isn't sure what to do with your input.

For me it was "Out To Lunch" and the live concert in I think 64, with Mingus.

People say the same thing about Monk, who was also the personification of "cool" and Mingus who was red hot, but also very cool.

“Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity." - Charles Mingus Couldn't have said it better myself.

I believe so much in this principle that this great quote from Charles Mingus is the first sentence of my artist statement [1]: "Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity".

E.g just because some people like Bieber and others like Mingus, doesn't make Bieber as just good as Mingus.

I’ll never forget the night sjc students invited me to smoke weed and listen to some Charles Mingus.

No, while I was familiar with Mingus, I didn't know about his cat training when I started!
