At age 12, he was introduced to gospel and blues through his family's church. Several years later, after moving to Illinois, he began formal training in jazz. He attended the University of Illinois, where he played for three years in the "A" jazz ensemble led by John Garvey. During that time his classical study continued with Ian Hobson. After moving to Chicago in 1988, he established a local presence leading his own quintet and joining forces with some of Chicago's premier players, including Ed Peterson, Fareed Haque, and most importantly seven-time Grammy Award-winning drummer, Paul Wertico.

Goodbye Pork Pie Hat Words & Music: Joni Mitchell & Charles Mingus
Goodbye Pork Pie Hat Words & Music: Joni Mitchell & Charles Mingus Joni set words to many of Mingus' jazz tunes on the 1979 album Mingus. Luckily, Charles Mingus was able to hear the results of the collaboration before his death that same year. If you don't know Mingus' work, go discover it. Works like "Fables of Faubus", "Better Git It In Your Soul" & "Slop" are sublime. The noted Jeff Beck cover of this tune earned the rare honor of a complete transcription in the November 2004 issue of Guitar Player. Chords are courtesy of Vivek Ayer. It is hard to map them to the words exactly, due to the free nature of the singing, but use Vivek's map & notes below. "This is a blues song with cool/weird changes written by Charles Mingus famously covered Beck, John Mclaughlin and Joni Mitchell. It's a 12 bar blues (can be read as 3 sections of 4 bars each) These chords can be played as a chord melody arrangement: | Ebm* B13| EM7+11 A7b5 | C#m9 B9| C#9 Eb7 | | Abm7 B13| EM7+11 Bb7#9#5 | C7b5 F7| B7 EM7| | A13 Ab7 | Bb7 C#7** | Ebm B7 | E A7 || * If you're not playing the melody I'd recommend Eb7#9 ** Some versions just play B9 for 2 bars here Eb7#9[Ebm] B13 EM7+11 A7b5 When Charlie speaks of Lester, you know someone great has gone.

Kurt-Elling-Full-Bio
Renowned for his singular combination of robust swing and poetic insight, GRAMMY winner Kurt Elling has secured his place among the world’s foremost jazz vocalists. Declared “the standout male vocalist of our time” by The New York Times, Elling has garnered unprecedented accolades, including a fourteen-year run atop the DownBeat Critics Poll, a dozen GRAMMY nominations, and eight Jazz Journalists Association awards for “Male Singer of the Year.” Elling’s voice is instantly recognizable, embracing listeners with his warm, rich baritone and navigating the full span of his four-octave range as a virtuoso instrumentalist and a compelling storyteller. Whether transforming timeless standards or crafting his own enthralling originals, Elling balances elegant lyricism and technical mastery with wry humor, profound emotional depth, and keen observations into the human condition. “Elling combines authenticity with stunning originality,” is how The Wall Street Journal describes his talents, while The Guardian has called him “a kind of Sinatra with superpowers.” The Toronto Star has gone so far as to say that “Kurt Elling is the closest jazz will ever get to having its own saint," while The Guardian makes up one voice in a chorus that has called him “one of jazz's all-time great vocalists." Elling’s most recent release, The Questions, vividly exemplifies his ability to respond to the world around him with both urgent immediacy and a unique perspective. Co- produced by NEA Jazz Master and acclaimed saxophonist Branford Marsalis, the album searches for answers to the culture’s most divisive social, political and spiritual issues in the songs of Bob Dylan, Carla Bley and Leonard Bernstein, and the poetry of Rumi and Wallace Stevens.

Edgar Aaron Jay Charles
MUSIC + FESTIVAL 2019 THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA TWELFTH ANNUAL COMPOSERS FESTIVAL OCTOBER 12-13 TUCSON, ARIZONA VarèseEdgar · AaronKernis Jay · MingusCharles COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS Fred Fox School of Music Music + Festival 2019: Edgard Varèse, Aaron Jay Kernis, Charles Mingus Twelfth Annual Composers Festival The University of Arizona Fred Fox School of Music October 12-13, 2019 The 2019 Music + Festival: Varese, Kernis, and Mingus will present the lives and music of these three composers within a rich and broad intellectual framework. The festival consists of a symposium providing the historical and artistic context in which these composers lived as well as what to listen for in this music; and four concerts: one chamber, one devoted to music of Charles Mingus, one featuring a mixture of electronic and concert music, and one including large ensembles. The festival features the faculty members and major student ensembles of the Fred Fox School of Music and guest artists and scholars. Despite his output of only slightly more than a dozen compositions, Edgard Varèse is regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century. His concept of “organized sound” led to experiments in form and texture. He was constantly on the lookout for new sound sources, and was one of the first to extensively explore percussion, electronics, and taped sounds. He was, as Henry Miller called him, “The stratospheric Colossus of Sound.” Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Aaron Jay Kernis draws artistic inspiration from a vast and often surprising palette of sources, among them the limitless color spectrum and immense emotional tangle of the orchestra, cantorial music in its beauty and dark intensity, the roiling drama of world events, and the energy and drive of jazz and popular music.
