A quartet of accomplished Richmond jazz musicians perform the iconic works of one of the legends of modern jazz bass.

"Irascible, demanding, bullying, and probably a genius, Charles Mingus cut himself a uniquely iconoclastic path through jazz in the middle of the 20th century, creating a legacy that became universally lauded only after he was no longer around to bug people. As a bassist, he knew few peers, blessed with a powerful tone and pulsating sense of rhythm, capable of elevating the instrument into the front line of a band. But had he been just a string player, few would know his name today. Rather, he was the greatest bass-playing leader/composer jazz has ever known, one who always kept his ears and fingers on the pulse, spirit, spontaneity, and ferocious expressive power of jazz." - Richard S. Ginell, BLUE NOTE RECORDS

Bassist and composer Jack Byrnes is one of Richmond’s busiest musicians. Jack received his Masters in Double Bass performance from the University of Delaware and has since recorded music with artists such as Harry Wilson, Ceili Galante, Maddy Curtis, and his own quartet, The BeSides. He has performed at the Williamsburg Winter Jazz Fest, Riverrock Festival, 2nd street festival, Jazz in the Country Festival, Lake Anna Jazz Fest, and has performed in multiple Shockoe Sessions Live at In Your Ears Studios.

Ayinde began playing the piano in 2008 at age 10. He quickly fell in love with the piano and jazz. In 2008, he attended Jazz Boot Camp at Richmond Youth Jazz Guild where he received his 1st formal jazz training.

He was also selected for the Vail jazz workshop and is a jazz piano winner of YoungArts.
