Eric Mingus

**Eric Mingus** carries forward a formidable musical legacy as the son of jazz giant Charles Mingus, while carving his own path as a genre-blurring vocalist, composer, and spoken-word artist. Known for his rich baritone voice and raw, theatrical performances, he mixes avant-garde jazz, blues, and punk energy with unflinching social commentary. His recent releases—like the gritty *Dog Water* and politically charged *Too Many Bullets... Not Enough Soul*—showcase his knack for fusing poetry with dissonant grooves and dark humor. Mingus also pays homage to literary icons, as seen in *Langston Hughes: The Dream Keeper*, where he reimagines the poet’s work through his own rebellious lens. Whether growling over distorted basslines or delivering haunting ballads, Eric’s work stays rooted in rebellion, echoing his father’s fiery spirit while pushing into bold new territories.
