Hentoff on Mingus: Nat Hentoff's Liner Notes to Charles Mingus' Recordings, by Steve Siegel (Jazz Profiles)

[Elmo]

Hentoff never attempted to tell us how to listen to Mingus or what to hear or, … , tell us how to feel. What he did do, however, was to make us aware of the complex nature of one of the giants of twentieth century American music, which, for many, served to appreciably enhance the listening experience as we made the connection between a composer, his creation and his performance.”
