Desmond Ng Quintet

If you like Mingus, and you should, then this show is for you. Brook Sutton & Friends Mingus tribute features some of Nashville's top jazz cats; Brook Sutton, Geoff Pfeifer, Don Aliquo, Emmanuel Echem, Marcus Finnie and Matt Endahl.

American jazz double bassist, pianist, composer and bandleader Charles Mingus is considered to be one of the greatest jazz musicians and composers in history, with a career spanning three decades and collaborations with other jazz legends such as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Dannie Richmond, and Herbie Hancock. Mingus' compositions continue to be played by contemporary musicians ranging from the repertory bands Mingus Big Band, Mingus Dynasty, and Mingus Orchestra, to the high school students who play the charts and compete in the Charles Mingus High School Competition. In 1993, The Library of Congress acquired Mingus's collected papers—including scores, sound recordings, correspondence and photos—in what they described as "the most important acquisition of a manuscript collection relating to jazz in the Library's history".
