Bass player extraordinaire Charles Mingus, who died in 1979, is one
of the essential composers in the history of jazz, and Beneath the
Underdog, his celebrated, wild, funny, demonic, anguished, shocking
and profoundly moving memoir, is the greatest autobiography ever
written by a jazz musician. It tells of his God-haunted childhood
in Watts during the 1920s and 1930s; his outcast adolescent years;
his apprenticeship, not only with jazzmen but also with pimps,
hookers, junkies, and hoodlums; and his golden years in New York
City with such legendary figures as Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton,
Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, and Dizzy Gillespie. Here is Mingus in
his own words, from shabby roadhouses to fabulous estates, from the
psychiatric wards of Bellevue to worlds of mysticism and solitude,
but for all his travels never straying too far, always returning to
music.
