anyone living in new york and interested in jazz should check out the mingus big band at the time cafe in the east village. this 14-piece band is dedicated to playing the work of jazz giant charles mingus, the late bassist, pianist and composer of the 50�s 60�s and 70�s whose turbulent group-improvisational compositions differed greatly from those of his solo-oriented contemporaries. i had a chance to see them last night at la palau de la musica (a concert hall in the "modernista" style typified by antoni gaudi) as part of the barcelona jazz festival. if you�re not so interested in jazz but like music, check it out anyway. you�ll probably be surprised
