Let My Children Hear Mingus
“That’s jazz music you’re listening to
Now, I’ve got 15 cents between me and starvation
And I’ll probably have to walk it all the way uptown
Cause I’m living on that music again
You see, I love jazz music…
That’s pretty music, boy
Pretty, but it ain’t really pretty
It ain’t like girls in the magazines
It’s beautiful
It’s terribly beautiful”
Charles Mingus from “Scenes In The City”
