Man'ish Boy - Trendy Men's Streetwear Fashion for Urban Style & Casual Outfits | Perfect for Daily Wear, Parties & Social Events

Darius Jones is an extraordinarily gifted alto saxophonist and composer; Man ish Boy (A Raw & Beautiful Thing) is his remarkable debut as a leader. Jones joined the New York music community in 2005, after living and studying in Richmond, VA. In a short time, he has amazed and inspired musicians and audiences from widely divergent backgrounds with his meticulously honed musical gifts. Some bands Jones currently works with are the Cooper-Moore Trio, Mike Pride s From Bacteria to Boys, William Hooker s Bliss (East), and Trevor Dunn s Proof Readers. Man ish Boy is a deeply personal work that found 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, were a deep inspiration for this project. An abiding respect for elders and the breadth of life experience they bring led Jones to ask master musicians Cooper-Moore and Rakalam Bob Moses to be part of the project. Cooper-Moore was specifically asked to also play the diddley-bo, a one-wire stringed instrument with roots in the Deep South via Africa; with it, he most definitely brings the organic funk.
