The teenage Jesus Acedo gorged on Zeppelin and Shankar at Tucson library, and picked up a guitar to form Black Sun Ensemble in the early ’80s, playing a mystical, mainly instrumental, acid folk blues, that instantly snapped synapses worldwide.

Behind Purple Clouds, completed by the ensemble after his death last March, suffers from a shiny world music veneer and jarring electronic intrusions, but Jesus’s modal fretwork catches fire a final time.
