Now 100% more avant-garde than Ivan!
Charles Mingus - Black Saint and the Sinner Lady:

Let me start off by saying I am not a jazz connoisseur by any means. The only jazz artists I am familiar with are Miles Davis, Sun Ra and John Zorn. However, the avant-garde jazz scene of the 1960's being closely linked to my beloved Krautrock, it is something that I can totally relate to. And I did with Black Saint and the Sinner Lady. This album has to be one of the best musical ecstasy pills I have ever swallowed. The complexity and layers of the instruments is astonishing, and better yet, it hardly sounds pretentious at all! A very wild performance, certainly, but Mingus & co. keep the sound contained and very well structured. These guys sound like they're having fun with this and I'm always a sucker for that quality in a musician. Oh, and track three is one of the most sublime pieces of music I have ever heard.

This one gets a nine from me, with possibility of a higher rating with repeated listens.

Yeah, so I guess I'll post my review for Charles Mingus. I guess this was a bad time for a jazz album, beause I just finished up a year with a sucky school jazz band with at least 30 kids and cheesy versions of jazz songs. I think this album was nice, but I just had a hard time listening. I'll definitely come back to it, because there was a lot going on, and a lot to appreciate. So as of now, I give it a 7/10.

Oh, and I think I'll upload the album in my avatar, Ganging Up on the Sun by Guster. It was made last year, but I'm sure a good amount of people will like it.

Well I'm almost positive no one here has even heard of them so I guess that's a plus.
