Shit is pretty much straight and ever so far. I need more autobiographies like this and Miles Davis' in my life. Any suggestions? Any musical artists really.
personally, i couldnt get into it...love mingus, but his writing lacked...still have a copy on the shelf...ill give it another shot...check for the dvd that has footage of the nypd kicking him out of his loft and hauling away all his belongings...sad story what they did to that man
i've been reading horace tapscott's autobio "songs of the unsung" which is really good so far. a lot of insight on los angeles from the 1950's-late 1990's, both musically, and culturally. another really good autobio i'd recommend is hampton hawes'. great read. i still have to read ellington's, which i've been sleeping on.
