What Are You Listening To?

[SteveO]

have you heard the Black saint and Sinner Lady album MH ? It's possibly the best jazz ever recorded!

from my library (cd)



Weekly new stack pull. After some posting and praise by a couple of our members of some Mingus,
I realized I didn't have anything. Had to remedy that. I was familiar with the man and had no
doubt heard some, but had never really listened. Usually go for a compilation when I need to
pick up on an old artist, but went for this highly praised studio release from before my day.
Like most jazz recordings that I post, I will not grade these tracks as I would other types of
music. I love jazz for what it was and think that anyone into music as much as most of us are,
shoud appreciate it's place in history. The transition of music from big band to smaller jazz
ensembles was a natural progression that should not be left out of the equation. Listen to it
for what it is, and dont compare it. It is a breed of it's own.
