Mingus turns 104!
Remembering Charles Mingus on the 104th anniversary of his birth!
“Just because I’m playing jazz I don’t forget about me. I play or write me the way I feel through jazz, or whatever. Music is, or was, a language of the emotions.”
Be sure to tune in to WKCR today (FM, HD, or online http://wkcr.org) for 24 hours of Mingus music and more, including a newly digitized archival interview from 1972
