There is a great attempt for the concert of the Quintet, led by the famous trumpet player Jack Walrath, accompanied by Abraham Burton, sax, Orrin Evans, piano, Boris Kozlov, bass and Jonathan Blake, drums.
The project “In A Spirit of Mingus” is inspired with the famous compositor, instrumentalist and leader of extraordinary groups, Charles Mingus, universally known for the rhythm of its music, strong, energized, spiritual and strongly attached to the roots of the gospel, the blues and of archaic jazz.
Jack Walrath, thanks to its talent, has written and arranged compositions for Mingus and under the terms of this reciprocal regard is born the project “In A Spirit of Mingus”.
The public will be fascinate from his innovating style, which personalizes the melodic lines giving vast space to solist performances of the components of group. It will be enraptured by the vibrations and the energy of a new music, deeply related to vitality of the black music of Count Basie and Ray Charles…
