DatDere Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyJazz Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Depressing, yeah. But you get some John Gilmore, so, like so much in life, hey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Also, Mingus explains in the film that he likes Jutta Hipp better than Toshiko Akiyoshi! Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durium Posted June 15, 2006 Author Report Share 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.

Chuck Nessa Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
