Artist's Description
Bassist Charles Mingus (1922-1979) was known as "The Angry Man of Jazz," for his explosive temper. He is often overlooked as one of the most important composers and performers of jazz. He briefly was a member of Duke Ellington's band, and has the distinction of being the only artist fired personally by Ellington. 1953's "Black Saint and the Sinner Lady" is acknowledged for its greatness, complete with liner notes written by Mingus' psychotherapist.
