Free Music Review: True Masterpiece of Modern Music
Hit: 5 Stars
After listening to this album many times over the past couple years, I can only come to the conclusion that this work ranks up there with some of the greatest artistic human achievements. Mr. Mingus, already a trailblazing master of jazz composition, used the medium of the music to craft one of the most direct life-to-sound translations I've ever come across.
The intensity of this music, especially when it goes into a repetitive march, becomes so enthralling you can almost physically feel his pain. It is so honest and personal a statement that I think describing what was played in specifics would not do either Mingus or the prospective listener any justice (I will note, however, that the inclusion of the Spanish acoustic guitar passages was very shocking and smart).
This masterpiece is a highly recommended addition to any true music fan's collection.
The Black Saint & The Sinner Lady Poster
This 1963 recording occupies a special place in Mingus's work, his most brilliantly realized extended composition. The six-part suite is a broad canvas for the bassist's tumultuous passions, ranging from islands of serenity for solo guitar and piano to waves of contrapuntal conflict and accelerating rhythms that pull the listener into the musical psychodrama. It seems to mingle and transform both the heights and clich?s of jazz orchestration, from Mingus's master, Duke Ellington, to film noir soundtracks. The result is a masterpiece of sounds and textures, from the astonishing vocal effects of the plunger-muted trumpets and trombone (seeming to speak messages just beyond the range of understanding) to the soaring romantic alto of Charlie Mariano. Boiling beneath it all are the teeming, congested rhythms of Mingus and drummer Dannie Richmond and the deep morass of tuba and baritone saxophone. This is one of the greatest works in jazz composition, and it's remarkable that Mingus dredged this much emotional power from a group of just 11 musicians. --Stuart BroomerJazz Music CDs
