Chris Biscoe and Tony Kofi- Mingus Profiles Sextet 3 December

Quite a three weeks for Seven Jazz in Leeds! They present evening concerts by jazz superstar Andy Sheppard, then the "Mingus Profiles" band keeping alive the genius of the great jazz adventurer Charles Mingus, who died in 1979, and finally a family night out that will also be a treat for the jazz connoisseur with Alan Barnes Octet performing "A Christmas Carol"! Phew....
