It was a world that was as exotic and rapturous, as hostile, enlightening, and baffling, as any far-off country. \u003ci\u003eTonight at Noon\u003c\/i\u003e  is the story of that world, of the tumultuous, passionate marriage of Sue and Charles Mingus, and of Sue’s personal odyssey inside and outside its confines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere is a love story—heartbreaking, joyous, and unforgettable—that 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.
