Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus. Actually I love all three records that he did for Impulse! label.

I love a lot of his music, but those arrangements on Black saint and the sinner lady are truly incredible, with all those layers that goes at different speed, it's like a 3d effect, I can't help but think of those old videogames with many level of parallax to give the effect of depth. I mean, in those topics about the greatest orchestrator and everybody mention Ravel and Rimsky Korsakov I usually think also of that album.

Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach
