Doug Carn The Best Of Doug Carn - Soul Jazz Records Presents - Audio CD (Arrives in 20 days)

This album brings together key tracks from Doug Carn, recorded for Black Jazz Records in the
1970s.
Doug Carn is one of the most important (and least recognised) forces in the creation of the
canon of 'deep and spiritual jazz music' – full of powerfully emotive intensity, consciously-
uplifting lyricism and addictively beautiful melodies.
All of his LPs during this period have since achieved cult classic status, including 'Infant Eyes',
'Adam's Apple', 'Spirit of the New Land' and 'Revelation'.
Aside from his songwriting and keyboard skills, many of the tracks here feature the stunning
and powerful 5-octave range vocals of Jean Carn (later Carne), his wife at the time.
Musicians featured on this album include Alphonse Mouzon, Charles Tolliver, Henry Franklin,
Michael Carvin, Walter Booker, Ronnie Laws and others. Aside from Carn’s compositions there
are also striking interpretations of music by Lee Morgan, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, McCoy
Tyner, Bobby Hutcherson and Wayne Shorter.
Black Jazz became one of the defining labels
of independent and conscious jazz music in
the 1970s, alongside other important labels
such as Strata-East and Tribe Records. As well
as this Best of Doug Carn release, Soul Jazz
Records are also releasing a Best of Black
Jazz Records collection at the same time.
