Mingus

It is a middling sort of day - overcast and occasional rain. I am doing more phone shop visits - having already done Hempstead Valley and Miadstone, and finally Ashford.

I picked up another Charles Mingus CD today, £The Black Saint and The Simmer Lady". Another Mingus classic in fact.

Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady (Full Album)

The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is a studio album by American jazz musician Charles Mingus, released on Impulse! Records in 1963. The album consists of a single continuous composition—partially written as a ballet—divided into four tracks and six movements.
