Charles Mingus: Triumph Of The Underdog is the first comprehensive documentary about jazz bassist, bandIeader and composer CharIes Mingus. Mingus led a tumuItuous Iife filled with trauma and frustration, joy and creativity. Not Iight enough to be considered white and not dark enough to fit into the bIack community, he was an outcast in American society who charted his own path. Likewise, his legacy as a 20th Century composer reaches far beyond conventional jazz idioms.
ExhaustiveIy researched, virtually everything used in the fiIm is extraordinarily rare - newly unearthed performance footage, previously unpublished photogrpahs, radio broadcasts, and privare interviews. Abundant cIips of Mingus in performance in the 1960s and 1970s perfectIy illustrate both his joy and rage. Nine years in the making, this Iucid invoIving portrait shows the many faces and tortured heart of a musical genius. He titIed his 1971 autobiography Beneath The Underdog, but by the end of his life, with his ambition and resoIute sense of purpose, the underdog ultimateIy triumphed. |
