"Charles Mingus:Triumph of the Underdog" is a lucid, involving portrait showing the many faces and tortured heart of composer, bandleader and bassist Charles Mingus. Exhaustively researched, this first comprehensive documentary on one of the major figures in jazz was nine years in the making.Virtually everthing used in the film is extraordinarily rare, including previously unpublished photos, newly unearthed performance footage and private interviews.
