Label: Aum Fidelty Notify Me (What is this?)
Man'ish Boy is a deeply personal work that found DARIUS JONES meditating on his life growing up in the South: not an easy life, but one suffused with familial love, hard work and self-assurance. His experiences in church, particularly hearing gospel choirs-the ecstatic combination of powerful individual voices coming together to create something greater-were a deep inspiration for this project. An abiding respect for elders and the breadth of life experience they bring led Jones to ask elder master musicians COOPER-MOORE (piano, diddley-bo) and RAKALAM BOB MOSES (drums) to be part of this project. Jones first met Moses at a performance while still in Virginia, and they have had a close relationship ever since. Jones joined forces with Cooper-Moore, a fellow Virginian and church-goer as a youth, after moving to NYC. C-M was asked specifically to also play diddley-bo on this project: a one-wire stringed instrument with roots in the deep south via Africa, only heard in a jazz context via Cooper-Moore; with it, he fully brings the organic funk.Need more info?
