Jazz at Karamel: Profiles of Mingus

“Biscoe’s sparkling arrangements and splendid playing vividly capture Minus’s sprawling, rumbustious energy, while giving the music a fresh twist” – Kenny Mathieson

This band is the current incarnation of a Mingus Moves, a flexible workshop ensemble established by Chris Biscoe in 1996. Henry Lowther and Stu Butterfield were also founder members. When this band takes off, hold on to your seats!

“The album’s almost worth it for Boogie Stop Shuffle alone, one of Mingus’s most deviously funky themes” – John Fordham, The Guardian
