Charles Mingus was a larger than life figure on the music scene, crashing. Volatile. Complex. Swinging. Intense. Delicate. Raucous and joyous. Depending on who you talk to, and maybe even what day, different images might be conjured up. Different words used to describe him by those who knew and performed with him.

In addition to all the albums made when he was alive, recordings have been cropping up and repertory bands are taking the music all over the world. That part of it is still growing, all under the watchful eye of Sue Graham Mingus, who has overseen all things musical and business for her late husband since his death in 1979.

AAJ Contributor R.J. DeLuke spoke with Mingus, about keeping her late husband's legacy alive nearly three decades after his death in 1979.
