THE BEGINNING OF A NEW BIRTH / AS TIME FLOWS ON by WORLD'S EXPERIENCE ORCHESTRA

The essence of Underground, Spiritual Jazz, figuratively and literally: their first album was recorded in a Boston, Mass. church�s basement. Both World�s Experience Orchestras albums were recorded in and around Boston, Massachusetts in the mid to late 1970s and committed to vinyl in miniscule press runs by a visionary, bassist / composer / arranger John Jamyll Jones.Jones is a magical type, who communicates with his instrument, his ensembles, and jazz�s ancient lineage in a manner so profound that his late-�70s album are out of time with jazz�s trajectory, but timeless when presented today. By the late �90s the music of World�s Experience Orchestra was circulating throughout the collections of esoteric jazz fans, the likes of Gerald �Jazzman� Short and Gilles Peterson, who played �The Prayer� for those, the Coltrane-enthralled searching for something new, something different. Something spiritual and honest. Peterson first offered to reissue �The Prayer,� as part of an anthology he was putting together with Los Angeles reissue label Ubiquity Records and that, to date, is the only official issue of any of Jones� music. This set is the definitive catalog of Jones� ensembles� released work. �I knew it was going to happen, but I didn�t know when,� says Jones of the road to seeing his music re-issued. �It�s 35 years or more now, and I�ve been waiting for this, and I�m quite sure I�m not the only one.�
