Style

A colour and a typography made for each other.

What They Say

  • Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that is creativity.

    Charles MingusMainliner, July 1977

  • 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.

    Charles Mingusto Nat Hentoff, in California Rock, California Sound, 1979

  • Let my children have music! Let them hear live music. Not noise.

    Charles MingusLiner notes, Let My Children Hear Music, 1971
