Charles known as the "Angry Man of Jazz" (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mingus

(Other definitions for mingus that I've seen before include "Charles -, US twentieth century jazz player, I'm sung (anag.)" , "Charlie --, US jazz bassist" , "Charlie -, US jazz pianist" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
