--Do you know who Charles Mingus is?
 

I was sitting in a place this morning thinking about recent 'do you know' threads, and realized that I would probably be completely baffled to learn that most are probably ignorant of his work. Do I CP with musically illiterate people or is this the norm now?

Bass players know who Charles Mingus is.

There's a limerick in there somewhere.

I'm old. But I'm not this ****ing old.

No, but I'm familiar with his brother, Cunil's work.

The kid from Boy Meets World?

Didn't he play Eddie Munster?

Indeed. What's with the focus on jazz lately?

The education of CHIEFS Planet continues.

No idea but I'm glad to see he won his fight with anorexia.

Of course I know, he was Emperor of China during the Mingus Dynasty... they called him "The Merciless"

It's the offseason... perhaps sharing music would break some of the monotony around here.
