CD Reviews

Mingus speaks today's truth in Scenes in the City
Tutone | San Francisco | 09/29/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"San Francisco is where I experienced it in the wails on the streets outside my Market Street window late at night when the rain was pouring down and the saxophone cried me to sleep, knowing that it knew me. How was I any different from "Joe" who didn't have one dime and lived in a corner bar to make it through the next day. A kind of reverence overcame me as I made my way through the years of hardship myself struggling to remember the peace that only Mingus could bring to me. And although I could pay my rent, I too was scarred by a hungry soul and a humanity that couldn't find its place. But Mingus found it."
