250 Albums- An Arbitrary Rumble Through My Record Collection # 73 Charlie Mingus - The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

 

I like a record that takes you somewhere . This one carries me to New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. Imagine yourself there in the 1950's.  Blanche Dubois getting off a train to meet Stella. Akk if that life, And in the background The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady chugs like pistons pumping. An album of inexpressible desire and wonder. A bruised peach.
