Doug Carn ft. Jean Carn – Spirit of the New Land
Doug Carn ft. Jean Carn
Spirit of the New Land
Style: Jazz
Label: Black Jazz
Catalog Number: BJQD/8
Released: 1972, 70's
One of the great Black Jazz albums in “the key of the black power movement,” Spirit of the New Land showcases pianist Doug Carn’s innovative songwriting along with the debut of the “Voice of Jean Carn.” Doug Carn pens new lyrics here to Miles Davis’ “Blue in Green” and Lee Morgan’s “Search for the New Land” along with five original pieces (A1-A3, B1, B3) featuring powerful words like “Kings and queens arise / It’s time to visualize / It’s time to realize / Beautiful people arise” and “Dwell Like A Ghost, Black Angel.” Jean Carn’s 5-octave vocal range is, of course, magnificent and it’s no surprise she would continue her career recording for Black Jazz and later with Earth, Wind & Fire, Norman Connors, Dexter Wansel Al Johnson and many others.
