JAZZ THURSDAYS: MEDITATIONS AND REVELATIONS – THE MUSIC OF CHARLES MINGUS

The Jazz Thursdays series, presenting music by the legendary Charles Mingus, continues with two more concerts featuring rarely performed music composed by Mingus. Charles Mingus is known for his ability to inspire collective improvisation and is one of the most influential bass players, bandleaders, and composers of jazz music. Come join us for a rare opportunity to hear Mingus’s music played live. The last concert will feature The Dakota Combo, MacPhail’s premier high school jazz combo.

Concert III: Something Like a Bird

Featuring: Adam Linz, bass; Bryan Nichols, piano; Michael Lewis, saxophones; Chris Thomson, saxophones; Greg Lewis, trumpet; Scott Agster, trombone; Stefan Kac, tuba; Dave Karr, baritone saxophone; tickets $10 Adult, $5 Youth
Come and see why Charles Mingus has been called a modern day extension to Duke Ellington as we explore the large ensemble side of his life. Whether writing for a trio or a 38 piece large ensemble, his voice is so recognizable that it echoes throughout the history of American music.

Tickets: $10 Adult, $5 Youth
