an interpretive biography of Charles Mingus

Edición de la obra Better git it in your soul

This biography traces the output of jazz master Charles Mingus--his recordings, his compositions, and his writings--highlighting key moments in his life and the musicians who influenced him and were influenced by him. In addition to leaving behind a large collection of compelling recordings by large and small units, Mingus was also a talented writer. His autobiography, Beneath the underdog, is unlike any other book by a major jazz artist. After exploring the most important events in Mingus's life, Krin Gabbard takes a careful look at Mingus as a writer as well as a composer and musician.
