The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
“A towering achievement in jazz composition and orchestration.”
Jazz in Detroit / Strata Concert Gallery / 46 Selden
“A newly discovered live document from 1973 finds the bassist emerging from a hiatus and negotiating a tradition he helped build with the “new thing” he helped inspire but often doubted.”
Jazz in Detroit / Strata Concert Gallery / 46 Selden
“A hefty new box set, recorded live in 1973, captures the legendary bassist at the helm of a short-lived yet top-tier band”
Mingus Ah Um (Legacy Edition)
“A key album from the great bassist/composer/bandleader's canon is given an expanded 2xCD reissue that includes the complete album Mingus Dynasty.”
