377: Miniature Mingus-Music Memory Mix...

Hi.
About a week ago I was informed of a film project
being put together by Kevin Ellington Mingus,
Charlie Mingus' grandson (who incidently is an improvising
bassist & composer in his own right)
and being a huge fan of mr. Mingus' music,
I decided to support it in any way I can.

Kevin Mingus describes his main motivation for making this film as:
"A grandson’s journey through the lore and legends of jazz history
to find his grandfather, Charles Mingus."...

Much more info you can find on his WEBSITE.



I also would like to point out that those involved in this project,
are seeking unpublished concert footage and or any other possibly
relevant archival materials .
So, if you are in possession of anything that is unpublished and
relevant, please consider making those archival materials available to the film makers.
You can contact the Project through Kevin Mingus's website.

In closure I'd like to declare and stress that I have absolutely no
financial interest or stake of any kind in the project.

Hi.
In addition to the message and info on top of this,
I gathered a 2 hour 13 minute tribute to that somewhat
unpredictable, but genius bassplayer, composer and bandleader.
Hope you like these tunes, some of his most swinging tracks
are covered here, 8 times the immortal Boogie Stop Shuffle,
another (rather smooth!) version of Goodbye Pork Pie Hat and
ofcourse I hope you got hit in your soul a couple of times [:-)

For extended play on the Pork Pie, I suggest you visit
this old post over at E-mile Says HERE.

posts where the Pork Pie had an appearance)
