Charles Mingus was one of the most innovative jazz musicians of the 20th
century, and ranks with Charles Ives and Duke Ellington as one of
America's greatest composers. By temperament, he was a high-strung and
sensitive romantic, a towering figure whose tempestuous personal life
found powerfully coherent expression in the ever-shifting textures of
his music. Now, acclaimed music critic Gene Santoro strips away the
myths shrouding "Jazz's Angry Man," revealing Mingus as more complex
than even his close friends knew. Written in a lively, novelistic style,
Myself When I Am Real draws on dozens of new interviews and
previously untapped letters and archival materials to explore the
intricate connections between this extraordinary man and the
extraordinary music he made.
