Mingus Fingers - Paperback

by David Sandner (Author), Jacob Weisman (Author)

When jazz legend Charles Mingus comes to town, playing his double bass at the Nighthawk Club, one struggling musician sees what no one else can: Mingus playing "in the soul," transforming into a giraffe. Mingus calls it the underground: the place he goes when the music is everything and he doesn't have to think at all.

Now Mingus sees something special in a younger musician, Kenny. Will Kenny have the same ability? Will he find the way to the underground?
