Steven Young Barber

Steven Young Barber The word on the street is that one of the grandchildren of Charles Mingus is working on a new documentary film about his old granddaddy. Has anybody else heard anything about this? Does anybody know how I can get more information about it? I also heard that this guy is a master of the bass fiddle, too. Please, anybody with any information... let me know.
