Doug Carn Trio - Self Titled LP
NEW. SEALED.
Real Gone Music
Keyboardist/composer Doug Carn was the biggest star on the legendary Black Jazz Records label, with four releases to his credit (all reissued by us at Real Gone Music), and remains a touchstone for spiritual jazz fans and musicians alike. But very, very few folks have heard his debut record, cut for the venerable Savoy label back in 1969. In fact, itâs so rare that we couldnât even find a copy to use for artwork, so, with Dougâs help, we enlisted his daughter Eroniffa Ibrahim to create illustrations for our reissue based on the original cover photos. But you know what we did find? Thatâs rightâŠthe original master tapes! So, not only is this the first LP reissue for The Doug Carn Trio, but itâs an all-analog edition to boot, pressed at Gotta Groove Records with their proprietary GrooveCoated stampers to minimize high-frequency loss with each successive pressing. And, weâve added an insert with liner notes by Aaron Cohen based on an exclusive interview with the man himself. As for the music, itâs a tight organ trio set that starts cooking right from the get-go with a groovinâ cover of Gus Cannonâs âWalk Right In,â which became a folk hit for The Rooftop Singers. Carnâs fluid, forward-thinking playing anticipates Larry Youngâs future keyboard forays, and originals like âButter from the Duckâ and âYna Ynaâs Delightâ presage the compositional prowess he flashed on the Black Jazz releases (note: thatâs Don Hales on guitar, not Gary Starling as credited on the original record). The opening salvo from a scintillating career, finally available again!
