The late Charles Mingus was one of the jazz world's most accomplished bassists and composers, and his music lives on after his death through the concerted efforts of his wife, Sue Mingus, and the Charles Mingus Big Band. This Web site will take users to a site devoted to Mingus that includes a brief biography, information about the Mingus Big Band, a gallery of images, and brief writings by Mingus himself. The writings section may be the most compelling, as it contains brief explanations of his song titles and his Grammy-nominated liner notes for his 1971 album, Let My Children Hear Music.
