Jazz Is Dead is a project from Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest, which brings legendary players into the studio for collaborations which prove just how vibrant and inspiring jazz continues to be. From Brian Jackson and Azymuth to Roy Ayers and Gary Bartz, there's absolutely no messing with the artists involved, and this latest installment welcomes in Jean Carne, who first appeared on then-husband Doug Carn's albums on Black Jazz. Her heritage within US jazz and soul is not to be trifled with, and now her incredible voice is paired with two artists who are creating an incredible body of work with this ongoing, consistently brilliant series.
