The UK Mingus Collective
In summer of 2008 Colin was itching for a new project. After receiving a copy of The Alan Barnes Octet's Harlem Airshaft , a series of terrific Ellington/Strayhorn arrangements by Tony Faulkner
, Colin was inspired to write for his own octet to play the music of Charles Mingus. Beginning on July 31st 2008 and working pretty much solidly, Colin turned out 17 arrangements in 21 days. In between the arranging, he was contacting various people to sound out who would fit the bill for this project and eventually came up with a team of these exceptional musicians.
The UK Mingus Collective will appear at 7 Arts in Leeds at 3.30pm on Sunday April 26th 2009 as part of the Leeds Fuse Festival. Get down and check it out!
