Jazz Power Initiative (JPI) celebrates jazz icon, composer, bassist and bandleader Charles Mingus, born 100 years ago on April 22, 1922. Presented at The National Jazz Museum in Harlem, our INTERGENERATIONAL JAZZ POWER JAM concert series continues online for virtual audiences on Friday, April 22, 2022 at 7 PM EDT.

Celebrate with us during Jazz Appreciation Month as we honor the late Charles Mingus’s 100th birthday with performances of his compositions, including his rarely performed extended work “Meditations on Integration,” as well as intergenerational interpretations of his famed “Fables of Faubus” and “Goodbye Porkpie Hat.”
