Better Git it in Your Soul

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Charles Mingus (1922-79) took the musicians who played with him to the limits of their capabilities, even resorting to physical violence in order to do so. His astute combination of compositional techniques and improvisation brought a new subtlety and complexity to jazz.
Russell Davies considers the life and work of this volatile bass player and band leader.
