Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed Muhammad - Jazz Is Dead Instrumentals
A really nice way of closing out this incredible Jazz Is Dead series. A little something for the collectors and music nerds alike. An instrumental album with a collection of gems from the seven legends that made up the series. These legends are Roy Ayers, Marcos Valle, Azymuth, Doug Carn, Gary Bartz, Joao Donato and Brian Jackson. All recordings in collaboration with Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad in Los Angeles brought out a beautiful mix of jazz, soul, fun and Brazilian vibes. The selections for this instrumental compilation may be a bit unique than the original vocal versions. We are fans of the whole series. Thank you to all involved for making this happen!
Jazz is indeed NOT dead.
