Pre-Order: Infant Eyes - Remastered - Blue/Black Swirl (Blk) [LP] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Nobody recorded as much as keyboardist/composer Doug Carn did for the Black Jazz label; his four records for the imprint are recognized as spiritual/free/soul jazz classics, Carn's 1971 debut for Black Jazz, Infant Eyes, introduced his stylistic wrinkle of adding lyrics to jazz classics like John Coltrane's "Acknowlegement (A Love Supreme)," Horace Silver's "Peace," and Wayne Shorter's title track, all sung by the gorgeous, thrilling voice of his wife Jean Carn. A crack outfit of drummer Michael Carvin, saxophonist/flautist George Harper, trombonist Al Hall, Jr., trumpeter Bob Frazier, and bassist Henry Franklin (himself leader of two treasured Black Jazz releases) backs the couple. A moving, beautiful listen that sounds ever more contemporary, now remastered, annotated, and pressed in blue with black swirl vinyl limited to 500 copies.
