Mingus

Functions more as a tonal poem/distillation of some of Mingus's key experiences and musical works than an actual biography. That's cool, but it made for somewhat cryptic reading for me. Super abstract/difficult to parse at times which I suppose is in line with the subject matter. Respect to Massaruto for not putting out your standard “story of an artist” but this won't be for everybody.
