Perhaps the greatest jazz bassist of all time. An extremely influential and original composer as well.
Known for his legendary temper earning him the nickname "The Angry Man of Jazz." Mingus vented his frustration over racial injustice through public protest and occasionally musically. A great example being his brilliant "Fables of Faubus", a biting satire of sorts about the racist Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus.
He died in 1979 at age 56 of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease.
If you're just getting into Mingus, I highly recommend his classic 1959 album Mingus Ah Um. It's not only one of my favorite jazz albums but his most accessible work.
Bruce Lee: Jaco Pastorius is an absolute master and I dig his music, but Charles Mingus sucks me in more with his soulful sound.
Jose Contreras: Agreed, he's a more interesting composer. And what a fascinating motherfucker too.

A reference to Season 1: Episode 9 of Sealab 2021. Murphy is trapped under an evil "Bebop Cola" vending machine. The soda he selected was called Minugs Dew, which probably references the American Jazz artist, Charles Minugs.
