Charles Mingus by Thomas Reichman (1968)

[BarbecueBobFan]

The conversation he had with his daughter was kind of disturbing.

[ConcertGrande]

[brianviglione]

Love this! This is classic, thank you so much for uploading this!

[jazzjanne1]

Mingus was the best basplayer ever, he played in two or three dimensions!

[NoRosesForMe]

haha!!! I think he was talkin about velcro! omg only Mingus could talk about Velcro and make it interesting. Zap dress! haha xx Ahhhhh what a trip! ZAP! ......love his pledge of alliegence too!! wow............*sigh*

[NoRosesForMe]

He was so hugely honest! Just tellin it like it was. Powerful. Makes me wonder if the interviewer was intimidated. ...but personally I can feel warmth from Mingus. I always have. Somethin ....dunno.......He was beyond great. He was ...just not of this world. God bless him . ♥

[alexanderbebop]

a major major major very important upload.

Share share share.

Art should be free !!

[adeart7]

@alexanderbebop But how should artist's be paid if it is given for free?

[mudrooroo2]

Mingus's place is as cluttered as his music sometimes is. Is this when he was flung out into the street? Great upload though

[TheBellyheart]

No one knows the beautiful piano piece at 25:00? It's kinda reminiscent of Orange Was the Color of her Dress, but it isn't.

[roccoluvshhi]

@TheBellyheart

I think the song is "Peggy's Blue Skylight" from Mingus' Tonight at Noon LP.

Forest Whitaker starring in the bio pic, I can see it now...

[unclejunglebass]

dannie richmond looks like skeletor

[ekremserdar]

aw man, this is a terrific upload. I remember watching this on a non-circulating vhs in the school library years ago, and telling my friends "man, you have to see it" and not knowing how to show 'em... many appreciations!

[skinnynicci]

excellent footage. Listening and watching to Charles reminds me of Forrest Whitaker. they share the same mannerisms.

[namtil]

Incredible - one of the most original composer/players and personalities ever. The "All the Things you Are" intro alone is worth the price of admission. Thank you.

[fhdjsahfdjsha]

wow thanks for the upload

[TheBellyheart]

What is the song he plays on piano right after his daughter snaps the rope around his neck?

[WorldParties]

WOW! Rare footage, I think - thrilled to view this. Thank you. Well worth the wait.

I once commendably received an over 80% in Music for doing my piece on Jazz. Still in love with Jazz.

[NYCBG]

Sometimes my account allows me to upload video's longer then 10/15 minutes. Don't know why that happens. I can't anymore, though...

[thedarkpresence]

How did you get around the 10 minute limit?

[p1r70l]

what a beauty! thanks for uploading this. hope to find more of this kind of stuff in the future.

[TheMuseDefined]

Pristine. I love how this was shot, great capture

[rickstolk]

you're welcome!

[msteras]

Flawless video. I loved how his daughter looked at her gentle giant daddy. She loved him unconditionally that's why he gave her the rope. Great post! Thank u..
