Mingus Awareness Project
Sun, June 9 @ 7pm
$15 adv / $20 day of / $10 students
Bassist/composer Charles Mingus, one of the titans of jazz, died of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) on January 5, 1979. At the time, there was no cure for ALS. Today, forty years later, there is still no cure.
The Mingus Awareness Project (MAP)is a series of concerts that benefits organizations that provide support for individuals who have ALS as well as their families. More than a dozen MAP concerts have happened in Chicago, Illinois, and Richmond.
MAP concerts also provide opportunities for audiences and performers to celebrate the music of Charles Mingus, music composed by artists who worked with Mingus, as well as music by composers who perform during MAP concerts.

MAP Quintet: John Dearth trumpet, J.C. Kuhl tenor saxophone, Calvin Brown piano, Mike Hawkins bass, and Brian Jones-drums.
Larrabee/Millner Duo: Adam Larrabee electric guitar and Jamal Millner electric guitar.
Saint Mingus: Reggie Pace trombone, Suzi Fischer alto saxophone, Stefan Demetriadis tuba, Giustino Riccio congas, and Brian Jones drums.
Brian Jones is a drummer/composer/teacher living and working in Richmond, Virginia.
