"Truly inspirational..the octet were simply superb. Thank you and the guys for all their hard work and wonderful playing"
The great jazz bass player, composer, arranger and bandleader, Charles Mingus had a unique approach to the development and performance of music, combining composition and collective improvisation to create music that was at provocative and avant-garde as well as being rooted in the jazz tradition and in blues and gospel music.
Based in Sussex, The Mingus Underground Octet, formed in 2014 and including some of the finest jazz and improvising musicians in the South East and London are dedicated to capturing the excitement and the spirit of Mingus's music and to giving audiences the opportunity to hear his unique legacy performed live by a larger ensemble.
The Octet have performed sell-out shows at the Love Supreme Festival, The Brunswick in Hove, at the inaugural South Coast Jazz festival and at the Verdict Jazz Club.
