The Mingus Dynasty plays Charles Mingus' music live.

"The Mingus Dynasty" is a live band show at Zinc, with sets at 7:00 PM and 8:30 PM. Mingus Dynasty was the first band Sue Mingus organized after Charles Mingus' death in 1979, working with his own sidemen to honor his life and work. Charles Mingus considered himself first and foremost a composer and left behind over 300 compositions that deserved to be played, so carrying on his music became the band's mission. Four decades on, new generations of musicians explore and celebrate this rich and varied musical legacy.
