Jazz the special needs kid people feel bad for so they try to act like he has any value besides being a retard.

he made one album more substantial than anything you'll ever do

I kind of got lost trying to read the non greentext part of your post, but I kind of agree- Black Saint doesn't sound like a jazz album at all. Charles Mingus' other albums mostly do, and I think they're mostly better. It's still a decent album

>judging jazz music by classical standards
Why do you shut yourself off user?

Excuse me? My mother was a pianist for the orchestra, my father has played drums with both what plebs consider the greats and lesser known unsung geniuses of jazz. I have been playing cello and piano since five years old, have been composing my own music since seven, and played in several bands in middle school, high school and now college, exploring classical (in the forms of baroque, romantic and modern, as well as minimalism and totalism), jazz (both modal and free), and rock (avant-prog influenced post-punk) - on top of this, I am a DJ at a local club that makes his own mixes of cutting edge experimental house and techno artists, as well as making some experimental sound collages and onkyo in my free time. I have perfect pitch and synesthesia, and can play the vast majority of Bach's repertoire on piano by memory alone. So, when I say this, believe me, for it is the closest you can get to objective fact: Charles Mingus is a hack, and the album "Black Saint and the Sinner Lady" is a perfect example of hackery, with a lukewarm reception among the knowledgeable but endless praise from the musically illiterate. It is understandable why someone with lesser understanding of the art form would adore it - it appeals to very primitive notions of music, with its simple construction and boisterous "moving" passages with all the depth of a child's pool, even if it lacks any of the things that make classical music and jazz such respected genres, such as the subtlety necessary to truly explore the depths of interplay and harmonic interplay. It is no wonder children of this ADHD generation love it so much.

Copying this pasta for future bait threads.

lol

Classical for normies would be some "Best of Bach" comp or "10 Hours Best Classical Study Compilation" on YT
It'd be more accurate to say "Third Stream for people who don't have the attention span for Third Stream"

this is one of my favourite albums though I never really ventured into "jazz"

is there any other albums similar to this?

Try third stream music, but don't expect many things to be as over the top and openly exciting.

i was actually talking about this album

But that's his second best album.

You're stupid.

Literally correct and great copypasta. Thanks user.

more like Charles Mongoose lol

i keked

>lying to yourself

why we arent real people, so you're shouting at the top of your lungs, hoping if you shout loud enough your fantasies will come true.

pathetic

WTF I love porn now?!

I do not think that was mean as a serious post.

tell your mom I said hey

>very limited amount of improvisation with non-existent amounts of melodic/harmonic development to make up for it
>simplified grooves that take away any of the more subtle/dynamic aspects of jazz drumming (even though many examples in jazz show you can have both)
>large set of instrumentation that weaves in/out parts like a first year music school kiddie who just learned the basics instead of being more creative
>a "variety" of different parts that play too close together instead of being more syncopated, thus not being taken full advantage of to create dance rhythms nor actual depth/complexity

It's literally outdated (even at the time), cliche dance music with no depth. The 60s equivalent of The Epic but not as bloated. Note how this album wasn't even that highly acclaimed when it came out; Downbeat gave it a 4/5 when just about any relatively decent record can nab a 5/5 from them (so don't give "le most acclaimed" garbage either). The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady didn't get praise until later by people who hadn't listened to more than a handful of jazz records and were too casual to fully digest the more intricate improvisations in real jazz music but also couldn't handle the depth in compositions of classical music.

Charlie Parker and anything "Hard Bop".

I don't really dig jazz, but hard bop is amazing.

Seriously, this is what cocaine does to jazz.

I tip my menorah to you

where is this pasta from?

Why are you so mad? And more importantly, why are you still here? You don't enjoy the album, big deal. What are you even trying to achieve with this?
