CHARLIE MINGUS The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady (2005 issue US LP pressed on 180gram VINYL originally released in 1963 this was his first LP for Bob Thiele's fledgling label Impulse, after moving from Columbia, which highlights his compositional talent with a good portion of rhythmic variety to the melodiousness of his hero, Duke Ellington, and although Charlie Mariano's tenor saxophone is highlighted soloistically, it is really the varying timbres and changesin tempo that make this LP a sheer pleasure to listen to, sealed picture sleeve with authentic artwork reproduction)
