A fantastic collaboration between two very different reed talents -- Japanese saxophonist Sadao Watanabe, and Boston legend Charlie Mariano -- each of whom seemed to always push each other to new heights in their music! That's definitely the case here, as Charlie lets his growing interest in Indian music inflect Sadao's sound with an even sharper edge than usual -- opening both players to a spiritual, global core that would only expand more in later years -- but which is completely revolutionary here, even all these many years later! Both Sadao and Charlie blow alto sax, and Mariano handles nagasvaram too -- and the group features Masabumi Kikuchi on piano and Fumio Watanabe on drums -- both musicians who get sharp and modern at all the right moments, and make the whole thing sound even more amazing than just a jazz-meets-world record. - Dusty Groove
The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is a studio album by Charles Mingus. It was recorded on January 20, 1963, and released in July of that year by Impulse! Records. The album comprises a single continuous composition—partially written as a ballet—divided into four tracks and six movements. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest jazz records of all time.
Bob Hammer was co-orchestrator and arranger for the album. In the book The Penguin Jazz Guide: The History of the Music in the 1000 Best Albums, Sue Mingus says: "In some fashion, Charles absorbed Bob Hammer's rehearsal band for a six-weeks gig he had at the Village Vanguard in 1963, which provided a unique opportunity to work out, night after night, one of his greatest compositions, The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady.".. - Wikipedia

Yellow Fields is an album by German double bassist and composer Eberhard Weber recorded in September 1975 and released on ECM the following year. The quartet features saxophonist Charlie Mariano, pianist Rainer Brüninghaus and drummer Jon Christensen.
The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded it the maximum four stars and placed it in their Core Collection, writing "Weber's masterpiece is essentially a period piece which nevertheless still seems modern. The sound of it is almost absurdly opulent: bass passages and swimming keyboard textures that reverberate from the speakers, chords that seem to hum with huge overtones. The keyboard textures in particular are of a kind that will probably never be heard on record again." - Wikipedia
