Alto saxophonist / composer Darius Jones’ highly anticipated second album as a bandleader is finally here! And, it is killin'.
The album features Jones' long-standing trio with bassist Adam Lane and drummer Jazon Nazary. Given a spotlight on "Chaych!" (bonus track on Darius' debut), the trio fully owns this new book of Jones' indelible compositions. The session took place in February 2011 following a series of stellar live shows and rehearsals; the band were rather evidently busting the seams and piercing the veil to drop this. On the compositions featured in this new book: Darius' gift for lyrical song shines anew in the gorgeous "Michele (Heart) Willie" & "I Wish I Had A Choice"; his radical rearrangement of Strayhorn's "Take the 'A' Train" and Jones' fully original "E-Gaz" are stunning for their ever-compelling forward momentum & invention; "My Special D" showcases the trio's long-form improvisational prowess developed over 3 years playing together; "Ol' Metal-Faced Bastard" is their homage to underground hip-hop and "Chasing The Ghost" is revisited with equal fervor and even greater intensity.
Big Gurl (Smell My Dream) presents the next chapter of Jones' ongoing 'Man’ish Boy' series of compositions introduced on his widely acclaimed debut, Man’ish Boy (A Raw & Beautiful Thing). The first album was inspired by Jones’ early childhood in rural Virginia; Big Gurl moves the story forward and takes inspiration from his years of study, experimentation and self-discovery at university in Richmond, VA where he began the search for his own voice (long found, fully lucid, and learning new tongues now). Revealed herein are deep musical influences that range from the liberating power of Parliament-Funkadelic to the fluid dynamics of Henry Threadgill's Air trio to the X-factor of Ol’ Dirty Bastard. A scintillating jazz saxophone trio love letter to underground hip-hop, soul, gospel, jazz, blues, rock and all things funky. Soul Power!
