Live in Palm Springs The Charles Mingus Tribute honors one of jazz’s most fearless innovators — a composer, bassist, and bandleader who refused to color inside the lines. A towering figure in modern jazz, Charles Mingus fused hard bop, blues, gospel, classical music, and raw emotion into a sound that was as explosive as it was deeply human. His compositions were passionate, political, playful, and uncompromising — music that demanded presence, honesty, and soul from everyone on stage. This tribute brings Mingus’ restless spirit to life through bold arrangements, muscular rhythms, and fearless improvisation. Expect music that swings hard, snarls when it needs to, and then turns tender without warning — just as Mingus intended. It’s not nostalgia. It’s living jazz. Provocative, powerful, and impossible to ignore. Tribute by Mack Leighton 🎠 Welcome to Carousel at the Cascade Lounge!
