Part 2 Mingus - The Guitar Aspect Friday, May 20, 2005 6pm Humanities program - A conversation on working with Mingus and the music of the master, between jazz critic Bill Milkowski and Larry Coryell. 8pm Concert - Larry Coryell has long been one of jazz most gifted guitarists. He was one of the pioneers who plotted the course for the late-60s/1970s jazz-fusion experiments, and later made some of the great composer-bassist-bandleader Charles Mingus' final recordings. On this evening Coryell will honor the music and legacy of Mingus, one of the Gate's all-time favorite artists. |
