Charles Mingus’ Autobiography -- “Beneath the Underdog
[ send me this paper ]
His World As Composed by Mingus: This 5 page report discusses the autobiography of jazz musician Charles Mingus. Mingus takes many unexpected turns and strange detours in telling his life story, just as he did in “telling” his musical interpretations. His telling bends and molds facts to his own purposes as if they too were musical notes. The book makes the reader feel like a voyeur peering into a great mind that had the capacity to blend impulsiveness, fantasy, fact, and craziness into one package in almost equal amounts. The end result blurs the lines of what is real or not but the book makes it clear that for Mingus, at the moment of his telling it, it was real enough. No secondary sources.
