Charles Mingus’ Autobiography -- “Beneath the Underdog
[ send me this paper ]
His
World As Composed by Mingus: This 5 page report discusses the
autobiography of jazz musician Charles Mingus. Mingus takes many
unexpected turns and strange detours in telling his life story,
just as he did in “telling” his musical interpretations. His
telling bends and molds facts to his own purposes as if they too
were musical notes. The book makes the reader feel like a
voyeur peering into a great mind that had the capacity to blend
impulsiveness, fantasy, fact, and craziness into one package in
almost equal amounts. The end result blurs the lines of what is
real or not but the book makes it clear that for Mingus, at the
moment of his telling it, it was real enough. No secondary
sources.

Charlie Parker’s “Lady Be Good” Compared with Miles Davis’
“Boplicity”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses Charlie “Yardbird”
Parker and Miles Davis who were (and still are), inarguably, two
of the greatest performers, composers, and innovators that the
American jazz world has ever experienced. Charlie Parker and his
alto saxophone are considered hallmarks of the original bebop,
even though the music he played repeatedly demonstrated that this
was a musician following his instincts and not necessarily
attempting to create or define any particular “style.” Likewise,
Miles Davis created a musical realm like nothing ever before
heard and like Bird, Miles unashamedly and unhesitatingly did it
his way. Miles Davis played an important part in the early stages
of the progressive, or “cool” jazz that dominated the jazz scene
in the early 1950s. This report compares two of their works. No
bibliography.
