Charles Mingus' The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady

[THE 101]

My GOAT jazz album



shyt is like being put inside the mind of a mad man....pure chaos

Mingus was a wild wild man

 

[Westbama Heartthrob]

Mingus is easily one of my favorite jazz musicians and arrangers

 

[I love Latina women]

Classic

 

[s@n]

A masterwork of compositional tension and counterpoint phrasing

 

[Cadillac]

Arizona born alumni
LA raised tho


But still hes one of us(let us have this)

 

[The Fade]

Mingus is great

 

[Piff Perkins]

CLASSIC album from a pure genius. Not sure what I'd say is the best jazz album I've heard but it's easily in the conversation.

If you want to read some wild shyt def check out his autobiography, Beneath the Underdog. Very troubled, brilliant man who spent much of his career fighting against forces outside his control. Racism, landlords, jazz establishments.

 

[Neuromancer]

Charlie the God Mingus

 

[King_Kamala61]

Dat Chello

 

[UnQuantized]

One of The GOATS. The way he combined his artistic talent with activism should be an example for black artist to this day. He probably sacrificed financial secuirty going down his path because he had the talent to do anything.

 

[Everything Zen]

solo dancer is the greatest opening to any LP ever. top 3 jazz album for sure.

 

[boogers]

my favorites are the clown and mingusmingusmingus but thats a great one too OP
