Very unique take on some of Charles Mingus's coolest tunes.

Nearly every member has conservatory training,holding various degrees from Bachelor to Doctor and uses that knowledge to the fullest but never lets all that fancy learning get in the way of a good old fashion THROW DOWN! They are here to make you freak the heck out!
