Amazon USAThe Unfinished Score: Collected Works Of Charles Mingus
By Raul Da Gama (Author) Reviewed by Shubhaangi Kundalkar
A perfect combination of prose and poetry which revolves around the tultumous life of the American Musician, Charles Mingus, I must say. The writings are so evident to have been written just out of inspiration which involves 15 years of research. I marvel at the Author's patience who has given so much time of his life to write all about the Musician and the life he lived with all its odds. This, I feel is a true tribute by the Author to the Musician. A book written with utmost dedication is much appreciable.
