Jones, Darius - Legend of e'Boi (The Hypervigilant Eye) CD
SKU
28-AUMF120.2
“Legend of e'Boi (The Hypervigilant Eye) is the powerful new work by composer & alto saxophonist Darius Jones. Both of his tremendous artistic strengths are to the fore here in a fully committed trio communion with longtime collaborator Gerald Cleaver (drums) & 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 Boy epic, 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.
Typical of his work, Legend of e'Boi serves as a larger creative vehicle for artistic exchange. This project is about Black mental health and healing from personal and collective trauma through therapy, community & creative expression.”
