Legend of e'Boi (The Hypervigilant Eye)
is the powerful new work by composer and 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) and
Chris Lightcap
(bass). Five potent new Jones compositions, and a striking arrangement of 'No More My Lord' (the prison song recorded by
Alan Lomax
at Parchman Farm).
Legend of e'Boi
is the seventh chapter (of nine on completion) in Jones' expansive
Man'ish Boy
epic, begun with AUM Fidelity in 2009. Includes liner notes by acclaimed writer and poet
Harmony Holiday
, cover art photography by
Jesse Ponkamo
, 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 and creative expression. In addition to the liner notes, CD/digital editions include booklets with contributions from seven writers and artwork which also address this theme. Jones has received wide acclaim not only for his albums featuring music and images evocative of Black Futurism, but also for his commissioned work as a composer throughout the U.S. and Canada. Jones'
fLuXkit Vancouver (i̶t̶s̶ suite but sacred)
was ranked #3 in
The Wire
's Top 50 Albums of 2023 and chosen among
NPR
's 50 Best Albums of 2023."
