Mingus hated being called Charlie. He wanted people to call him Charles. Thanks for that information. I've corrected the original post. Here's a link to youtube interviews of Charles Mingus. There are 9 overall tapes, so you will have to go to the other links. I find Mingus to be a great bassist but moreso a great composer. |

The Mosaic live box from 1964-65 is a marvel and belongs in any serious jazz lover's collection w/plenty of unreleased Dolphy. Mingus was an extraordinary performer/leader/arranger/composer/raconteur.Words fail me.
