The double bill in Duke’s Page Auditorium on September 26 is split between two big bands with deep historical roots, though neither of the nominal leaders is with us anymore. The Charles Mingus Big Band takes the stage first, followed by the Arkestra created by Sun Ra, one of the few contemporaries who could make even Mingus seem conventional. Sun Ra is also the subject of an art installation hosted by the Durham Arts Guild, a public conversation at the John Hope Franklin center on September 25, and several other events.
