CHARLES MINGUS - THE BLACK SAINT AND THE SINNER LADY (HYBRID SACD)

Charles Mingus The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady on Hybrid SACD

In January of 1963, bassist and composer Charles Mingus recorded a very personal and socially conscious work he titled The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady. Each composition, from the opening "Solo Dancer" to the closing "Group and Solo Dance" was a musical expression of Mingus' philosophy of life, love and the world around him. For  Mingus and the musicians that joined him; Charlie Mariano, alto saxophone; Jake Byard, piano; Jay Berliner, guitar; Don Butterfield, tuba; Dick Hafer, tenor saxophone and flute; Quentin Jackson, trombone; The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady was much more than just another album, it was a jazz ballet performed by a small ensemble. It has become a landmark event.
