Mingus at 100
Julian Joseph celebrates jazz giant Charles Mingus’s centenary with special guest Charles McPherson.
Julian Joseph celebrates the 100th anniversary of one of most important figures in 20th-century music: double bassist, composer and bandleader Charles Mingus. Mingus’s legacy is one of inventiveness, exploration and passion. Playing recordings from across Mingus’ career, Julian pays tribute to his remarkable talent and examines his lasting impact on the jazz world. He’s joined by special guest altoist Charles McPherson, a long-standing friend and close collaborator of Mingus, who shares stories from their time together and insights into Mingus’ genius.
