Check Our Catalog“This is Darius Jones’ first recording as a leader, and a very fine one it is. He comes through as a skilled composer, a hugely soulful saxophonist, and an assured leader. Man’ish Boy offers a superb listening experience that runs the gamut of human emotions, from the simple one-minute opener “Roosevelt” — a showcase to establish Jones’ supple, yearning, slightly slippery alto sax tone — down to the tender ballad “Forgive Me,” a gorgeous prayer where less is more: harmony, structure, and solo being brought down to bare essentials.”–All Music Guide
