Mingus Big Band at The Pocket Jazz Club

Experience the unparalleled sounds of the Mingus Big Band, a powerhouse ensemble dedicated to the visionary music of Charles Mingus, the legendary American composer, bassist, and activist. 📜✨
Founded by Sue Mingus, this 14-piece band showcases innovative arrangements of Mingus' compositions, in a format he long desired yet could not often organize.

The band's dynamic structure allows for deep explorations and imaginative interpretations of Mingus' music, reminiscent of his Jazz Workshop projects. 🎵💫 With a roster that includes both established talents and emerging musicians from NYC, the Mingus Big Band stands out as one of the most vibrant and creative musical entities today. 🌆

Having received seven GRAMMY nominations, including the latest for The Charles Mingus Centennial Sessions in 2022, and a win in 2011 for Live at Jazz Standard, their legacy continues to grow. 🎖️
