MINGUS SPEAKS
Book ID/图书代码： 02173013B63455
English Summary/英文概要： Charles Mingus is among jazz’s greatest composers and perhaps its most talented bass player. He was blunt and outspoken about the place of jazz in music history and American culture, about which performers were the real thing (or not), and much more. These in-depth interviews, conducted several years before Mingus died, capture the composer’s spirit and voice, revealing how he saw himself as composer and performer, how he viewed his peers and predecessors, how he created his extraordinary music, and how he looked at race. Augmented with interviews and commentary by ten close associates - including Mingus’ wife Sue, Teo Macero, George Wein, and Sy Johnson - "Mingus Speaks" provides a wealth of new perspectives on the musician’s life and career. As a writer for "Playboy", John F. Goodman reviewed Mingus’ comeback concert in 1972 and went on to achieve an intimacy with the composer that brings a relaxed and candid tone to the ensuing interviews. Much of what Mingus shares shows him in a new light: his personality, his passions and sense of humor, and his thoughts on music. The conversations are wide-ranging, shedding fresh light on important milestones in Mingus’ life such as the publication of his memoir, "Beneath the Underdog", the famous Tijuana episodes, his relationships, and the jazz business.

Awards/获奖情况：“我很荣幸我是这位很有魅力的作曲家、贝斯手的好朋友，他那充满活力的音乐会永远伴随我以及世界上的许多其他人。明格斯对音乐的吸收能力异乎寻常的好，在这本关于他的历史的书中，主要有一系列约翰•古德曼对他的采访，这本书向我们展现的是一灵魂都在燃烧着音乐的明格斯。”
“明格斯曾经告诉我他创作的音乐是多维的，用爵士来描述太局限了，他将这种音乐称之为‘明格斯的音乐’。这本书中还有很多从没有向外界公开过的材料。它不像我读过的任何一本关于爵士历史的书，里面有他对音乐的多方位解释，这对世界各地的歌迷来说是不可多得的。”——纳特•亨托夫，《爵士乐队》的作者：六十年代的爵士舞台
“总的来说，在音乐方面明格斯可能会像喷泉一样爆发。这些访谈能让你体验他的爆发，高压力的敏锐洞察力以及离谱的猜测。”——基因•桑托罗，《真实的自己》的作者：查尔斯•明格斯的生活和音乐
"I was privileged to be a close friend of the magnetically original composer, bassist, and leader CharlesMingus, whose deeply energizing music has never left me and many, many others around the world. Mingus was singularly absorbing off the stand and now in this historic book Mingus Speaks, primarily a series of interviews by John Goodman, who as we see is a listener to the music burning to be a soul mate of Charles Mingus as this book proceeds.
The multidimensional inner Mingus who created what he called, not jazz--jazz he said to me once was too limited a description--he created what he called ’Mingus music.’ And much of the material here, in the book, has never been available before. For it so reveals and multi-dimensionally explains much of the music, and as long as there is jazz, Mingus speaks for the enthralling listeners around the world and--and I mean this--as they become his music. A book unlike any I’ve seen on the history of jazz." --Nat Hentoff, author of At the Jazz Band Ball: Sixty Years on the Jazz Scene
"In words as in music, Mingus could erupt like a geyser speaking in tongues. These interviews let you experience his volatile, high-pressure flow of acute insights and outrageous conjectures." --Gene Santoro, author of Myself When I Am Real: The Life and Music of Charles Mingus.
