Keyboardist/composer Doug Carn was the biggest star on the legendary Black Jazz Records label, with four releases to his credit (all reissued by 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, it's so rare that we couldn't even find a copy to use for artwork, so, with Doug's 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? That's right…the original master tapes! So, not only is this the first LP reissue for The Doug Carn Trio, but it's an all-analog edition to boot, pressed at Gotta Groove Records with their proprietary Groove Coated stampers to minimize high-frequency loss with each successive pressing.
