Description
Poetry. California Interest. Women's Studies. Charles Mingus's classic 1963 album The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is swerved into Harmony Holiday's classic 2018 album THE BLACK SAINT AND THE SINNERMAN. The albums are not the same, not at all. But they speak to one and other across time and language, motion and sound.
