Advantages: Fantastic display of Jazz composition Disadvantages: Jazz isn't for everyone
CharlesMingus - In a Soulful Mood.
CharlesMingus, also known as "The angry man of Jazz", is a fantastic jazz bassist and composer. He was born in 1922 in Arizona and picked up the Double Bass in high school. He had previously learnt to play the cello and trombone so many of his cello skills were converted to double bass. In his early years he was composing incredibly advanced jazz pieces, some of which to be recorded later on.
Over his career Mingus recorded in excess of 70 records with various musicians passing through his often unconventional bands. He tended to focus on the personality, as well as the ability, of a musician to see how he would fit into the band. He ran a jazz workshop that included around 8 members and shaped musicians into unconventional ways that explored their improvisational talents. Pieces ...

I know originality is a precious commodity to come by these days, but I hoped that at least Spielberg would have been able to muster some and not just mimic other movies. He tried hard but there were definite touches of The Matrix, Robocop, Total Recall, The Terminator, The Fugitive and also every other Spielberg movie. I appreciate how hard it must have been to make a satisfactory adaptation of a Philip K Dick novel and I was also impressed that we didn?t simply get Blade Runner 2. Many Directors find it hard to make a futuristic film without showing off every cool idea they had and often forget to tell a story, lost in their own inventiveness.
