Description
Both of his tremendous artistic strengths are to the fore here in a fully committed
trio communion with longtime collaborator Gerald Cleaver (drums) and Chris
Lightcap (bass). Five potent new Jones compositions, and a striking arrangement
of "No More My Lord" (a prison song rec. by Alan Lomax at Parchman Farm).
Legend of e'Boi is the 7th chapter (of 9 on completion) in Jones' expansive
Man'ish Boyepic, begun with AUM Fidelity in 2009. As deeply personal a project
as ever; the themes remain universal. Includes liner notes by acclaimed writer
and poet Harmony Holiday , cover art photography of Jones himself, and
additional artwork by Risha Rox.
Darius Jones has received wide acclaim not only for his albums featuring music
& images evocative of Black Futurism, but also for his commissioned work as a
composer throughout the U.S. and Canada. Jones' fLuXkit Vancouver was ranked
#3 in The Wire's Top 50 Albums of 2023 and chosen among NPR's 50 Best
Albums of 2023.
