The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady | Charlie Mingus

Description

Cover Notes: The album was recorded in January 1963 by an eleven-piece band. Mingus has called the album’s orchestral style ‘ethnic folk-dance music’. Mingus’s perfectionism led to extensive use of studio overdubbing techniques. The album features liner notes written by Mingus and his then-psychotherapist, Edmund Pollock. The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is often characterized by jazz and music critics as one of Mingus’s two major masterworks (the other being ‘Mingus Ah Um’ [1959]) and has frequently ranked highly on lists of the best albums of all time.

Extras: Yellow coloured vinyl
