writing was music and literary
criticism, in which capacity he wrote many highly
articulate pieces of journalism, his main talent was for drama, and he wrote more than 60 plays. He was also an essayist, novelist and short
story writer. Nearly all his writings address prevailing social
problems, but have a vein of comedy which makes their stark themes more
palatable. Issues which engaged Shaw's attention included education, marriage,
religion, government, health care, and class privilege.

Mingus's compositions retained the hot and soulful feel of hard bop and drew
heavily from black gospel music while sometimes drawing on elements of Third
Stream, free jazz, and classical music. Yet Mingus avoided categorization,
forging his own brand of music that fused tradition with unique and unexplored
realms of jazz. He once cited Duke Ellington and church as his main influences.
