| Notable April Jazz Musician Birthdays
Charles Mingus Jr. (April 22, 1922 – January 5, 1979) was an American jazz double bassist, pianist, composer and bandleader. A major proponent of collective improvisation, he is considered to be one of the greatest jazz musicians and composers in history, with a career spanning three decades and collaborations with other jazz legends such as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Dannie Richmond, and Herbie Hancock.
Mingus's compositions continue to be played by contemporary musicians ranging from the repertory bands Mingus Big Band, Mingus Dynasty,
and Mingus Orchestra, to the high school students who play the charts
and compete in the Charles Mingus High School Competition. In 1993, the Library of Congress
acquired Mingus's collected papers—including scores, sound recordings,
correspondence and photos—in what they described as "the most important
acquisition of a manuscript collection relating to jazz in the Library's
history".

Jazz Radio In Northern Ohio Ends Cleveland's Smooth Jazz Station Changes Format To Mod AC
“We love smooth jazz, but unfortunately the music has become a
Pandora/Spotify format,” Rubber City Radio owner Thom Mandel said in a
release. “We found that we were pushing a boulder uphill, and serving
fewer and fewer listeners. The station sounded fabulous, but without
enough listeners, we could no longer support it.”
