Description
Big Gurl (Smell My Dream) is the highly anticipated follow-up to Darius Jones widely acclaimed 2009 debut Man'ish Boy (A Raw & Beautiful Thing), which drew inspiration from his childhood years growing up in the South and was chosen among the Best Jazz Albums of 2009 by the Village Voice Critics Poll, NPR's A Blog Supreme, JazzTimes, All About Jazz New York, Boston Globe, Destination: Out, Boston Phoenix, and many more. This album features his long-standing trio with bassist Adam Lane and drummer Jazon Nazary, a new book of Jones indelible compositions (inspired by his years at university in Richmond, VA), and musical influences that range from the liberating power of Parliament-Funkadelic to the fluid dynamics of Henry Threadgill's Air.
