Mingus: Charles Mingus 1968

4/10/2018

0 Comments

 
Mingus: Charles Mingus 1968 (dir. Thomas Reichman), released 50 years ago, documents when Mingus was evicted from his Greenwich Village apartment. It is a riveting documentary that captures a very difficult time in his life, including some poignant moments with his five-year-old daughter.

Little Rock Nine at 60

1/9/2017

0 Comments

 
2017 marks the 60th anniversary of the crisis with Little Rock Central High School, most well-known as the situation during which the Little Rock Nine were brought to Little Rock Central H.S. -- and racist white people including Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus virulently opposed this action to desegregate the high school.

Charles Mingus wrote and recorded "Fables of Faubus," a sonic portrait of Governor Faubus.

Here's the MAPtet performing "Fables of Faubus" at Martyrs', with Saalik Ziyad singing the original vocals that Mingus penned in 1959.
