Summer Tuesdays come alive on the MCA’s Anne and John Kern Terrace Garden with free music highlighting artists from Chicago’s internationally renowned jazz community. Bassist Jeremiah Hunt leads a centenary performance in honor of the great Charles Mingus, performing a blend of the swinging hard bop and deeply felt blues that proves why Mingus is still one of the most beloved musicians of all time.
