Black Jazz Records’ biggest hit of the 70’s … jazz-funk organist Doug Carn joins Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This new collaboration with the founders of the Jazz is Dead<\/a> label \u2013 Californian producer Adrian Younge and former member of the band A Tribe Called Quest, Ali Shaheed Muhammad \u2013 offers an update on the jazz-funk of the 70s alongside one of its heroes, Doug Carn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Desert Rain,” the first single of this project, plunges us simultaneously into the middle of a desert plain and into a corner of a dark alley. A repetitive bass motif accompanies Carn\u2019s organ around an elegant lyrical theme that feels like a loft jazz session between African-American musicians in New York in the mid-70s. Throughout the track, the horn and organ evolve into a harmonious synchronised dance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
