Charles Mingus: Workshop Concerts
By 1960, bassist, composer and leader Charles Mingus wasn't a jazz musician in the traditional sense. He was an activist, and if the new Charles Mingus: The Jazz Workshop Concerts 1964-65(Mosaic) box is any indication, his music was two years ahead of Huey Newton's Black Panthers and the Black Power movement in general—both of which were launched in 1966 to draw an assertive line on white racial terrorism.
Mingus's activist roots likely date back to September 1951, when he found himself unable to join Red Norvo and Tal Farlow behind vocalist David Thorne on WCBS-TV in New York.

Dave Brubeck: 1920-2012
Yesterday afternoon, my Leisure & Arts editor at the Wall Street Journal called with awful news: pianist-composer Dave Brubeck had died. He then asked if I could turn around an appreciation for Thursday's paper. No problem, I said. But after I filed the piece, the national news section wanted it, and the desk had to trim it considerably for space (go here). I loved Dave and his music, so I thought I should share with you my longer, original appreciation...
Pianist Dave Brubeck, who died Wednesday at age 91 in Norwalk, Conn.—one day before his 92d birthday—was jazz’s first LP superstar and one of the art form’s most congenial ambassadors. Seemingly incapable of repressing a wide boyish grin that narrowed his eyes to slits, Mr. Brubeck exuded a sunny optimism on album covers that won over college students and young suburban adults, starting in the 1950s.
