Charles Mingus The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady |
Who knew jazz would be good? Along with his extended compositional career, Mingus has delivered a long term relationship with his audience, not just on his incredible live endeavors, but also on his in-studio work that remains until today, some of the best jazz material ever. His ever-labored efforts and commitment to composing were a trademark of his artistic individuality and often resulted in brilliant outputs. His methodical and painstaking process peaked with The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, a feat of its own. In this record, the bassist extraordinaire and composer reached his artistic zenith with three songs and three modes, composed for a big band, in which few jazz stars could be found, but the final results from the assembly as a whole could match those of a genius soloist and even surpass it, almost reaching a classical composer level. Solo Dancer is a smoother, subtle opening for a rather turbulent and emotive narrative-piece, reaching its peak of intensity on the Group Dance of the album's last Mode. Sorrowful human voices are expertly simulated in the fantastic Duet Solo Dancers, paying tribute to the ancient times of slavery of black people in contrast with the modern city insanity. Never has popular music reached such levels of emotion and elegance at the same time. Mingus has made himself a path to eternity with his career, but it was by this collection of works that his music was deeply scarred into History's galleries. |
