Charles Mingus – The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady (180g Vinyl)
This 1963 album by legendary bassist/composer Charles Mingus is one easily one of the most impressive and sprawling works in jazz history. The album features the signature pathos of his earlier work—screaming saxophones, a rocking and unpredictable rhythm section, and explosions of harsh dissonance followed by intensely emotional interludes that recall the great Romantic composers. An absolutely essential addition to any music-lover’s library, The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is a true and unparalleled benchmark of jazz composition and improvisation.
"...a mixture of haunting bluesiness, dancing vivacity, and moments of Andalusian heat..." –Q Magazine
“It's almost impossible to choose just one great moment from the legacy of this pioneering bassist and compositional genius” –The Guardian
“Through its six parts, Mingus and his 11 hotshot players conjure images of creeping hobos, fawning sophisticates, domestic loneliness and a mind on fire” –MOJO Magazine
