To celebrate the jazz titan's centenary, Stuart explores his 1972 album 'Let My Children Hear Music'. Described by Mingus as "the best album I have ever made" among his discography of almost sixty, Let My Children Hear Music fuses together classical music and free jazz to playful and fiery effect. Charles Mingus was a virtuoso bass player, accomplished pianist, bandleader and composer who died in 1979 at the age of 56 and is widely considered to be one of the most important figures in jazz history.
Plus soothing ambient organ, dramatic orchestral TV theme tunes, avant garde sample-based electronics and folk songs about Benjamin Britten's cleaner from the likes of Kali Malone, John Barry, Mira Calix and Fowl.
