Product Description: 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. In addition to the liner notes, CD/digital editions include booklets w/ contributions from seven writers & artwork which also address this theme. 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 (i?t?s? 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. Limited edition vinyl, jacket printed on reverse board. #includes insert w/ liner notes & full-res download card w/ 2 additional tracks. Strictly limited to 600 copies worldwide.
