Week 32:: M-I-N-G-U-S

The ever-so-much-more-intensive, and only-slightly-more-informative, featured programming has returned, and will do so with a gusto appropriate to the subject matter: Mr. Charles Mingus.

In a 2-part series, we'll listen to some of the essential/best known Mingus works as well as some of the more obscure ditties.  For part 1 (this week), we swing for the fences with the masterworks and "greatest hits."  Of course, we're lacking the 12 to 200 additional hours necessary to complete such a task, but cut me some slack.

Here's as much Mingus as I can squeeze into (about) an hour.

Next week, we'll continue this exercise in audio spandex.  Think 'Mingus in Tights.'

Visualize that, and Stay tuned.
