31 years past his death, Mingus is still great

From The Jam Session, Reloaded ...

Bassist and band leader Charles Mingus passed away 31 years ago today, on Jan. 5, 1979.

Simply put, he was one of the greatest in jazz -- particularly if you could stand to work with him. There are plenty of stories about that ...

(Of course there's more -- with sound & pictures.)
