Charles Mingus - The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady (Verve Accoustic Sounds Series)


CLASSIC from this Jazz LEGEND!

180 Gram Vinyl, Verve Accoustic Sounds Series.

Described by Mingus himself as “ethnic folk-dance music,” The Black Saint & The Sinner Lady is a single song cycle rather than a traditional jazz album of separate tracks. The intricate arrangements and raw emotional swings of the piece make it a highlight of Mingus’ career, and one of the most compelling listens in jazz.
