The Unfinished Score Collected Works of Charles Mingus【電子書籍】[ Raul da Gama ]

＜p＞"Like Mingus’ music itself I decided to call my book: The Unfinished ScoreーThe Complete Works of Charles Mingus. It was and still is nothing like any other books that have ever been written and published about Mingusーor for that matter any other musician, jazz or otherwise. Quite simply, what I have done is capture the many moods of Mingus’ tumultuous life almost exclusively from his music, and relocate this to the poetic landscape. So, in a sense, mine is the only book about the musician that starts and ends with Mingus’ music: its melodies and harmonies, complex tones and textures, abrupt changes in mood and tempi and, most of all, his insecurities, fears and his enormous appetite for loving. The entire book is written in poetry and prose. The poems have been interspersed with prose chapters that lyrically introduce key episodes in his life that influenced his music. It was a challenge, to say the least. The book took me 15 years to research; it also took me 4 years to complete. B．．．楽天市場のショップで商品詳細の続きを見る
