Charles Mingus
Highly influential American jazz double bassist, composer and bandleader, Charles Mingus, retained the hot and soulful feel of hard bop and drew heavily from black gospel music and drawing on elements of free jazz, and classical music. Mingus avoided categorization, forging his own brand of music that fused tradition with unique and unexplored realms of jazz.
