The collection contains original music manuscripts scores and patts, tapes, photogriphs,literary manuscripts and memorabilia. The collection is both large and importani. tr'or-eximple, his movin glgliautobiography,Beneath the Underdog was drawn from over L,000 manuscript pages. Mingus' genius is clear to most. His public persona was too complicated, to many too frightening, to approach; he was intensely self awari and sbcially alert. And, my goodness, such beautiful music.
