“Mingus the mocking, the bully, the arrogant son of a bitch, the one ahead of everyone, the samurai warrior with his dynasty on one side and the man who never slept with a purse full of psycho sicknesses on the other … i know. For me it has always been another question of love », Roberto Ottaviano writes in the cover notes. “Excessive, unspeakable, able to go from blue silk to ecclesiastical orgies with the snap of a jaguar. Light a fire and quickly burn everything, Gospel, Blues, Ellington, Songs, Pythecanthropes and multiple men like Rahsaan, hallucinations and psychosis, and then sit with his pipe and watch the flames with the tenderness of a child, with shining eyes . I could only ask Alexander to share this self-love therapy with me through the blue light of Charlie’s sky ».
