Tonight on the program`s Jazz Feature is the music of Charles Mingus. It`s an important album in the Mingus recorded legacy and it was his initial album for the Impulse label. It was called ``The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady`` Mingus considered this one of his finest documents. It is a suite of music played by an 11 piece ensemble with some incredible solos by all involved like alto saxophonist Charlie Mariano and soprano and baritone saxophonist Jerome Richardson and trombonist Quentin Jackson and others. It is an intense that covers the gamut of emotions from anger, despair to hope. Mingus looms large as a pianist, bassist and composer of this work and he was given full control of the music, editing and sequencing. It`s his show and he made the best of it.
