The Crooked JadesBrand new Album coming July 24Coming in July Jeff’s dream comes true of the first all-original Crooked Jades album: “Shining Darkness.” With this project the band continues to look for light in the shadow and explore the alchemy of art and darkness. Recorded in Fantasy’s famous Studio A by Bruce Kaphan and co-produced by Jeff and Bruce the album features the current lineup and more eclectic instruments including harmonium, bao (Vietnamese one-string box zither) and mbira. We’ll follow up with a west coast CD release tour in August and a month-long tour in Europe and Ireland in September/October. More news soon. Crooked Jades song in new Sean Penn film, Into the WildWe are proud and excited to announce that Erik Pearson’s original tune “Fork and File” from the latest Crooked Jades CD “World’s on Fire” is part of the soundtrack for the amazing new Sean Penn film “Into the Wild” . Penn's fourth filmmaking effort, "Into the Wild," is his most accomplished yet, a sign that for all the accolades labeling him the finest actor of his generation, directing could be his real calling. Adapted by Penn from Jon Krakauer's best-seller, "Into the Wild" combines grand American vistas with the heartbreaking real-life story of a fierce young idealist whose two-year trek of abstinent adventure ended in tragedy in Alaska. Christopher McCandless was a rebellious spirit who came from a fairly privileged background yet was drawn to the ascetic tenets set forth by such writers as Leo Tolstoy, Jack London and Henry David Thoreau. He set off on his quest with an aim to repudiate material society and live on his own terms.
