Mi vida con el hombre furioso del jazz

About this book

Una noche de 1964, en un club de jazz en Nueva York, una joven aspirante a actriz observa a un hobre enorme, comiendo solo, como una isla en medio del bullicio nocturno. Se trata de Charles Mingus, el ícono del jazz. Aunque en ese momento ella no lo sabe, pasará con aquel hombre los siguientes quince años de su vida, hasta 1979, año en que Mingus muere en Cuernavaca, mientras intentaba combatir la esclerosis con los remedios de la famosa curandera mexicana conocida como Pachita.En este libro, Sue Graham Mingus ha convertido su vida junto a Charles en un relato formidable, lleno de entraña y cruda honestidad. La autora nos transporta a los truculentos años sesentas en Nueva York y a la vida íntima de un genio de la música, un furioso iconoclasta que día a día luchaba una batalla contra el sistema de la música, contra el racismo, contra las modas y contra los falsos profetas.La vida interior de Charles Mingus, sus procesos creativos, sus opiniones radicales sobre el mundo y sus interminables angustias metafísicas: todo ha sido registrado aquí, con minuciosidad, con rabioso cariño. Al final, en una surreal lucha contra la enfermedad y la muerte, Mingus viaja a México y pasa sus últimos meses sumergido en una cultura que le parece, a un tiempo, incomprensible y liberadora. Sue, a su lado siempre, se vuelve un personaje inolvidable cuya mirada sagaz atestigua al proceso de desintegración de un hombre extrardinario.Mingus&Mingus es un documento de estupenda factura, íntimo, revelador y esencial para comprender una época en la historia de la música.
