Charles Mingus – Triumph of the Underdog / Shanachie DVD-6315

Description

Shanachie DVD 6315 / Color and B&W, 78 minutes / The first comprehensive documentary about jazz bassist, bandleader and composer CHARLES MINGUS. Exhaustively researched, virtually everything used in the film is extraordinarily rare — newly unearthed performance footage, previously unpublished photographs, radio broadcasts, and private interviews. Abundant clips of Mingus in performance in the 1960s and 1970s perfectly illustrate both his joy and rage.
