Charles Mingus is among jazz's greatest composers and perhaps its
most talented bass player. He was blunt and outspoken about the
place of jazz in music history and American culture, about which
performers were the real thing (or not), and much more. These
in-depth interviews, conducted several years before Mingus died,
capture the composer's spirit and voice, revealing how he saw
himself as composer and performer, how he viewed his peers and
predecessors, how he created his extraordinary music, and how he
looked at race. Augmented with interviews and commentary by ten
close associates--including Mingus's wife Sue, Teo Macero, George
Wein, and Sy Johnson--"Mingus Speaks" provides a wealth of new
perspectives on the musician's life and career.
As a writer for "Playboy, " John F. Goodman reviewed Mingus's
comeback concert in 1972 and went on to achieve an intimacy with
the composer that brings a relaxed and candid tone to the ensuing
interviews. Much of what Mingus shares shows him in a new light:
his personality, his passions and sense of humor, and his thoughts
on music. The conversations are wide-ranging, shedding fresh light
on important milestones in Mingus's life such as the publication of
his memoir, "Beneath the Underdog," the famous Tijuana episodes,
his relationships, and the jazz business.
