Arthur Jones - Scorpio (1971)

 


BYG Records: Acutel Series released some of the most interesting recording of the late 1960's/early 1970's. A French label specializing in free-jazz and avant-garde music whom purportedly did some shady shit, but despite the history, they've started reissuing their Actual Series which includes one of my favorite records. Jones is at peak performance on this recording, blowing his religion into the air and ears of those who will listen. Scorpio takes off  right out of the gates, and ebbs and flows over 4 tracks. Sad Eyes, in my opinion is the highlight and most tender effort on the record. Grab it, have a seat, and take that ride.
