The
Darius Jones Quartet
Darius Jones - alto

Trevor Dunn - bass

Book of Mæ'bul (Another
Kind of Sunrise) is Darius Jones' third project/recording
as a bandleader and completes the first chapter (& trilogy)
of his ongoing Man'ish Boy epic. It is his first Quartet project,
and once again features a stunning new book of compositions
written specifically for the group.
The band which brings Mæ'bul
to scintillating life consists of highly talented generational
peers, each of whom give forth their finest in this group.
Sublime melodies, purposefully juxtaposed meters, love, and
beauty map the exquisitely detailed yet fluid movement of
the music. This is music that has been purposefully designed
to embrace the listener.
"Natural Beauty is
a vital component in the conceptual message of Mæ’bul,”
Darius Jones explains. “My sister and mother are two
of the most naturally beautiful women inside and out I have
ever seen. When looking at my sister’s African features
and dark brown skin I can’t help but marvel at how the
past and present are colliding to create such Beauty. So in
creating Mæ’bul, I wanted to utilize forms and
structures that were more prominent in the past while playing
uncompromisingly in a modern day language. The idea in the
simplest of terms is creating eternity now. I Love the idea
of eternity.”
