Day 23 - Charles Mingus - The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady (1963)


This may very well be the best jazz album i've ever heard. It's smooth, operatic, fast, slow and has hints of Spanish guitar. Charles Mingus is great. "The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady" is designed to be one long composition with different movements, a modern ballet. This was an album of sweeping emotion for me and I loved it. I'll definitely listen to this one again. 5/5.

Tracks I enjoyed the most: All of them.
