Song of the Day: Jean Carne, Adrian Younge, Ali Shaheed Muhammad - Come as You Are

Adrian Younge, Ali Shaheed Muhammad announces a second series of releases from Jazz Is Dead, with a new single Come as You Are recorded with Jean Carne.

Known for her incredible vocal acrobatics that spans from Spiritual Jazz to Disco and R&B, Jean Carne dazzled those in attendance for her session. As Muhammad puts it, Jean Carne walked through the door, and her grace and positive spirit filled more than a room. It was a playland, there were no challenges.

In the music industry, time moves ten times faster. There is no pause given to greatness, and legends can vanish amidst the churn of the hit parade. It is no minor miracle, then, that in the face of a deadly pandemic and faltering supply chain, Jazz Is Dead has returned with another offering of top-shelf recordings, paying tribute to past legends and new school torchbearers alike. Whether you’ve known the names of Jazz Is Dead Series 2’s featured guests, or are just meeting them for the first time, prepare to be blown away.

For both Younge and Muhammad, preserving and sharing these legacies remains at the core of their mission. We do this work with reverence, for the people who came before us, that’s our intent, says Muhammad. In an era of streaming and rapid devaluation of music, and with the lingering uncertainty of running a new independent label in the time of COVID, Jazz Is Dead continues with Series 2.
