Scorpio is an album by saxophonist Arthur Jones. It was recorded at Studio Saravah in Paris during August 1969, and was released in 1971 by BYG Records as part of their Actuel series. On the album, Jones is joined by two French musicians, bassist Beb Guérin and drummer Claude Delcloo.

Phil Freeman of Burning Ambulance stated: .. "Jones' phrasing and tone recall Ornette Coleman, though he's a little more inclined to go for a deep, bluesy honk at the bottom of the alto's range than Coleman is, and at the height of his solos he lets his lines run longer, and get more repetitive and shrieky, than the Texan would do in a similar situation." - Wikipedia

Jazztodon artist of the week: Arthur Jones! From Wikipedia: “Arthur Jones (1940 – 1998) was an American Free Jazz alto saxophonist known for his highly energetic but warm tones.

Jones was born in Cleveland, USA, and played for several years in a Rock and Roll band. After discovering music by Ornette Coleman and Eric Dolphy, he started appearing on the New York scene, playing in Frank Wright's group, where he took part in the recording of Your Prayer (1967). He then also worked with Jacques Coursil. In 1968, he was a member of Sunny Murray's Acoustical Swing Unit, with which he went to Paris in 1969 and where he recorded two volumes of an album called Africanasia (part 1 and part 2) as the band leader with most of the musicians from the Art Ensemble of Chicago. He also made numerous other recordings for BYG Actuel with Coursil, Archie Shepp, Sunny Murray, or Burton Greene.

Recommended listening: his album “Scorpio."
