Charles Mingus
Bassist, composer, bandleader. The workshop, the fables, the whole big noise.

Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that is creativity.
In my music, I'm trying to play the truth of what I am. The reason it's difficult is because I'm changing all the time.
Let my children have music! Let them hear live music. Not noise.
