Durium Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 Some times ago I saw the documentary Mingus, iId like to recommendate to you. It's a remarkable document !! Keep swinging Durium Quote
DatDere Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 Is that the one with Mingus being evicted from his apartment? That's a pretty depressing film, very interesting though. I think you can actually watch it on Youtube if you search for "Mingus", it's split into 5 or 6 parts. Quote
MartyJazz Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 I agree. The "depressing" one was done by Thomas Reichman in 1968. There is a more recent documentary/performance film that I prefer titled "Triumph of the Underdog" (1997) directed by Don McGlynn. Quote
JSngry Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 Depressing, yeah. But you get some John Gilmore, so, like so much in life, hey. Quote
bertrand Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 Also, Mingus explains in the film that he likes Jutta Hipp better than Toshiko Akiyoshi! Bertrand. Quote
Durium Posted June 15, 2006 Author Report Posted June 15, 2006 Also, Mingus explains in the film that he likes Jutta Hipp better than Toshiko Akiyoshi! Bertrand. I was at a solo concert with Toshiko Akiyoshi some years ago and spoke some words with her. I'll tell more about this meeting in my Keep swinging webblog within a few days if you like. Durium Quote
jazzbo Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 (edited) Good one Jim! Edited June 15, 2006 by jazzbo Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 I thought he was slow responding. I pondered posting a message about Jim's search for Jutta's offspring but decided against it. Quote
