THE
MINGUS SISTERS SPEAK - FOUR CD AUDIO BOOK
The
"Mingus Sisters Speak" provides an up
close and personal view of the formative years of
jazz great Charles Mingus. This revealing, intimate
look into Charles' life could only be told by siblings
who shared his growing-up experience. Much has been
said and written about jazz' angry genius. Many
of those "facts" are confirmed or refuted
by the only two people who really knew the real
Charles.
The
Sisters set the record straight about the uniqueness
of the household, their driven domineering father
who had a profound influence on the three by nurturing
their talents, challenging their creativity and
the deprivation of their emotional and spiritual
well being.
Hear
first hand how each child coped, how the three children
bonded and survived and how the only son escaped
the reality of dysfunction by creating a survival
of space in music.
The
"Mingus Sisters Speak" is a gift to the
fans and family of Charles Mingus. The gift of truth.
Charles' music was truth. Journey with the Sisters
as they relive growing up in their Watts neighborhood,
during the depression, and how the music saved their
souls.
