Charles Mingus – The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded in a single January 1963 session, Mingus conceived this six-part suite as a continuous emotional and psychological journey, something closer to orchestral composition than anything jazz had attempted before. His use of the studio itself as an instrument, layering overdubs in ways that were genuinely radical for the era, gives the record a density that reveals something new on every listen. The Acoustic Sounds reissue, mastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound from original analog sources, is the version this music has always deserved.
Long-considered Charles Mingus' masterpiece, The Black Saint And The Sinner Ladyrepresents high-water marks in both jazz composition and orchestration. An essential work in the history of jazz, this extended work has been performed as a ballet and features original liner notes by Mingus' psychotherapist. Verve's Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
