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.
But Jesus’s struggle with schizophrenia saw his compositions lose focus.
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.
