For The Love Of Movies... Can We Talk?Watch An Extraordinary Feature Documentary Portrait Of Charles Mingus By Thomas Reichman
I woke up to this poignant, hour-long intimate portrait of Mingus by documentarian, Thomas Reichman. I figured you'd appreciate it on a summer Friday too, if you haven't seen it.
The short story (courtesy of Open Culture) goes... In November of 1966, Charles Mingus was forcibly evicted from his apartment in New York City. Thomas Reichman’s documentary, titled Mingus, captures that sad occurrence, and, of course, much more about the man and his music that lives on.
Watch the hour-long doc below:

Tom Reichman is my biological father, although I only met him a few times in the early 1970s...I watch this video and see him with Mingus' daughter. For me I am that girl and to me this video makes him live on and he and I can stay in that time. It may have been a sad time, but even sad time is time.

Hey Tambay, thanks a lot. You blew half my morning. I had a lot of work to do this morning but couldn't take my eyes off this haunting, chilling and gorgeous portrait. I hate you I love you. Dig?
