mingus

my bad in my fortworthjazz.com ornette coleman review -- it's charles mingus' website that has the page of unauthorized recordings, not ornette's. surfed there for the first time in awhile after watching don mcglynn's documentary charles mingus: triumph of the underdog again last night and picking up mingus' autobiography beneath the underdog for some "light reading" after finishing ulysses last week. was surprised to read online that mingus' posthumously-released masterwork epitaph was performed four times this year, in new york, los angeles, chicago, and...cleveland?!?!? also that sue mingus, who currently has three bands (the seven-piece mingus dynasty, 11-piece mingus orchestra, and 14-piece mingus big band) performing her late husband's music on alternating tuesday nights at iridium in manhattan, as well as on the road. nice.
