From the rear cover
"Krin Gabbard is one of the finest stylists writing about jazz today, and Better Git It In Your Soul finds him at the top of his game. The writing is crisp, charming, and funny, a pleasure to read. The author's love of this immensely rich body of music comes through on every page."--Thomas Brothers, author of Louis Armstrong: Master of Modernism "One of the reasons that the great musician Charles Mingus is not better known is that the raw complexity of his life and the scale and sweep of his work seem to demand a whole team of artists and scholars to fathom and explain his importance in several different arts. Finally, Krin Gabbard--biographer, musician, film scholar, and literary critic--steps in with a book worthy of this twentieth-century master, and one that will surprise even those familiar with his legacy."--John Szwed, author of Billie Holiday: The Musician and the Myth "Gabbard conveys the complexity of Mingus's life and his changing representation in an engaging and accessible book. A fascinating and thought-provoking read, this book is a must for anyone interested in jazz."--Tony Whyton, author of Beyond "A Love Supreme" and Jazz Icons
