About: 

Angelo Hart has always had a unique and expressive approach to his instrument.  Angelo has spent personal time studying jazz and classical legends such as Thelonius Monk, Art Tatum, Cecil Taylor, Oscar Peterson, Keith Jarrett, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Debussy, Liszt, Chopin, Beethoven, and many more. Time spent with the great educators and musicians in Chicago, along with his natural innovative musicianship has molded him into the great musician that he is today. He approaches the piano with command and finesse, displaying a unique relationship and connection between the two of them.

Charles Mingus is one of the great composers, musicians, and visionaries of all time. In jazz, he paved a path for musicians and composers to explore new and exciting veins of creative and improvisational music. This night of music will be a celebration of the creative genius that is Charles Mingus. All pieces are inspired by a Mingus composition, album, or by his creative vision. A quartet, led by Angelo Hart, and including Jake Wark on sax, Ben Dillinger on bass and Tommaso Moretti on drums, the goal is always to create an organic and flowing conversation between musicians. One characteristic of Charles Mingus's arrangements is group or collective improvisation. We see it in many of his different groups. The quartet will embody Mingus's approach to this while trying to capture the spirit of Mingus.
