Doug Carn's latest work in the Jazz Is Dead album series, led by Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge, combines his unique and classic art with a musical culture inspired by his 70s masterpieces. You can easily recognize the musical genius behind albums like Infant Eyes and Adam's Apple. When this meets the distinctive jazz - hip hop - funk - noir style of Younge/Muhammad/JID, it creates something comparable to Carn's past work but unique to this era. You'll notice nods to musical motifs from Carn's jazz peers, often used as sample material, yet his compositional and improvisational skills are top - notch throughout. This is the 5th volume of Adrian Younge + Ali Shaheed Muhammad's Jazz Is Dead series, which also features collaborations with Roy Ayers, Marcos Valle, Gary Bartz and more. It comes as a black double vinyl pressing, plays at 45 rpm, and is housed in a die - cut jacket with a printed inner sleeve. The music label is Jazz Is Dead 2021.
To enjoy this vinyl record, first, make sure your turntable is set to 45 rpm. Gently remove the record from the die - cut jacket and place it on the turntable. Use the tonearm to carefully drop the needle on the record's edge. When you're done listening, lift the tonearm and return it to its rest. Then, put the record back in the printed inner sleeve and the die - cut jacket to protect it. Keep the vinyl in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. Avoid touching the playing surface of the record with your fingers to prevent dirt and oil from affecting the sound quality.
