Charles Mingus’ THE CLOWN performed Live at JRAC

- Donation
Jazz Record Art Collective presents Christopher Dammann Quintet perform Charles Mingus’ 1957 release THE CLOWN on Wednesday, Aug. 9 at FSC

The night will also feature live painting from Alex Puryear.

“A compelling masterpiece from Mingus, opening with one of his most memorable compositions, ‘Haitian Fight Song,’ but filled with interesting music throughout. Released at a time when most LP’s were still collections of thrown together, independent songs, The Clown is the very rare exception that feels like a unified musical experience…From start to close, the whole record is propelled by the dexterous, bluesy playing of Charles Mingus. A strange and forward-thinking record.”
