Charles Minguss improbable love for Sue Graham  his unpredictable confrontations  excesses  and exaggerations  drew her into a bewildering world  one where jazz and art were magnificent obsessions but were refracted  as was everything else  through Charless individualistic interpretation of life itself. It was a world that was as exotic and rapturous  as hostile  enlightening  and baffling  as any far-off country. Tonight at Noon is the story of that world  of the tumultuous  passionate marriage of Sue and Charles Mingus  and of Sues personal odyssey inside and outside its confines.  Here is a love storyheartbreaking  joyous  and unforgettablethat also illumines an important chapter in jazz history and the inner workings of a rare and complex artist  whose music  thanks to his widow  still plays to packed concert halls almost twenty-five years after his death.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646932934709,"sku":"ByrdShop_0375421157","price":20.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780375421150.jpg?v=1781682059","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/tonight-at-noon-a-love-story-9780375421150","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
