250 Albums- An Arbitrary Rumble Through My Record Collection # 249 Charlie Mingus - The Black Saint & The Sinner Lady

 


I wouldn't claim to be very knowledgeable about Jazz. I often don't know so much as what instruments the masters played. Or what the key combos were or what the great innovations are. But Jazz has become an increasingly central part of my life in the last seventeen years since I've been living in Newcastle.

The Black Saint & The Sinner Lady is a record I've bought only comparatively recently and I play it as much as I can. It's heady and slightly woozy and casts a slightly hypnotic spell. I'm glad I don't really drink much anymore. This is a record which always makes me feel slightly drunk.
