Charles Mingus – The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady (Grey Marble Vinyl)
$24.99
Description
‘The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady’ is a studio album by American jazz double bassist, composer, and bandleader Charles Mingus. The album was recorded on January 20, 1963 by an eleven-piece band. The album comprises a single continuous composition divided into four tracks and six movements. Mingus has called the album’s orchestral style “ethnic folk-dance music”, and it has been described by critics as blending “jazz and classical but also integrates elements of African music and Spanish themes.” Jazz and music critics often characterize it as one of Mingus’s two major masterworks (the other being ‘Mingus Ah Um’) and it has frequently ranked highly on lists of the best albums of all time. ‘The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady’ is among the most acclaimed jazz records of the 20th century. Richard Cook and Brian Morton, writers of The Penguin Guide to Jazz, awarded the album a “Crown” token, the publication’s highest accolade, in addition to the highest four-star rating.
