The record is considered a NewSoundAlbum for Mingus and an incendiary release for {{Jazz}} music as a whole, with it's genre-defying composition and innovative use of overdubbing. The three-way brass dialogue of trumpets, trombone and tuba, high flying reeds and a sturdy rhythm section balance delicate Andalusian modes and Music/DukeEllington-esque melodies, the ensemble frequently bursts into a cacophony of collective improvisation on par with jazz giants such as Music/JohnColtrane or Music/OrnetteColeman.

''The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady'' is a studio album by American jazz musician Music/CharlesMingus, released on Impulse! Records in 1963. Comprised of six suites composed by Mingus that were initially conceived as a [[{{Ballet}} ballet]], Mingus recorded the album shortly after he was discharged from [[BedlamHouse Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital]], a fact furthered by the liner notes containing a letter / review from his then psychotherapist, Dr. Edmund Pollock.

The record is considered a NewSoundAlbum for Mingus and an incendiary release for {{Jazz}} music as a whole, with it's genre-defying composition and innovative use of overdubbing. The three-way brass dialogue of trumpets, trombone and tuba, high flying reeds and a sturdy rhythm section balance delicate Andalusian modes and Ellington-esque melodies, the ensemble frequently bursts into a cacophony of collective improvisation on par with jazz giants such as Music/JohnColtrane or Music/OrnetteColeman.

Magnum Opus is for in-universe examples only, and examples don't get blank lines between them.



It is because of this, the record is considered to be Mingus' [[MagnumOpus masterwork]] alongside his prior record, ''Music/MingusAhUm''.
