Charles Mingus (1922-79) was a great American jazz composer and bassist. He grew up in Watts, California; he received two Guggenheim Foundation grants. His life was as complex and encompassing as his work, you will see.
He also managed to toilet train his cat, developing a tongue-in-cheek but pretty sensible program to that purpose. Pretty sympathetic for a guy whose autobiography was called Beneath the Underdog!
