Mingus/mingus Two Memoirs (limelight) [Paperback]

MINGUS/MINGUS TWO MEMOIRSCharles Mingus was one of the greatest talents in the jazz world, as a bassist, bandleader, and composer. Mingus comes to life again through these two memoirs written by two of his friends. This book is a breezy but heartfelt tribute to an arascible talent, a collection as passionate and unruly as its subject...funny, respectful and revealing.  The New York Times Book Review
