Mingus Big Band at The Pocket Jazz Club

Join us for a mesmerizing night as the Mingus Big Band takes the stage at The Pocket Jazz Club! 🎵 This extraordinary 14-piece ensemble, created by the legendary Sue Mingus, exclusively performs the music of the iconic American composer, bassist, and activist Charles Mingus.

Hear fresh arrangements of his classic compositions in a vibrant atmosphere that he always envisioned but wasn't always able to realize in his lifetime. The band's dynamic structure promotes deep explorations and ever-evolving interpretations of Mingus’ music, offering a canvas for individual artistic expression inspired by the Jazz Workshop projects and compositions Mingus championed.

Consisting of New York City's finest established and emerging musicians, the Mingus Big Band has gained acclaim as one of the most spontaneous and creative ensembles worldwide. 🎺 With seven GRAMMY nominations and a GRAMMY win in 2011, the band continues to build on its legacy, especially through the cherished Mingus Mondays residency at The Pocket.
