Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed Muhammad with Jean Carne – Jazz is Dead 012
Weekly Review:
The brainchild of former A Tribe Called Quest turntablist Ali Shaheed Muhammad and R&B producer
Adrian Younge, the Jazz is Dead series has been boosting the signal of forgotten legends and generating
lots of great music for more than two prolific years.
Soul singer Jean Carne takes the spotlight for the latest installment of Jazz is Dead. Carne won’t be a
familiar name to many music fans. Aside from a 2007 live record with other artists, Carne hasn’t
released an album since the 1990s. During her heyday in the 1970s, Carne recorded with Philadelphia
International Records and scored several Top 40 R&B and dance hits. She’s also worked with other Jazz
is Dead alumni Doug Carn, Roy Ayers and Gary Bartz.
Carne co-wrote all seven songs on this collection with Younge and Muhammad. Her voice floats over the
Blaxploitation-meets-bachelor-pad vibe Muhammad and Younge have honed so well across this series.
Carne’s voice may no longer have the five-octave range advertised earlier in her career, but she
commands every minute of this album. At 25 minutes, this often feels slight, but since this is more than
Carne has given fans for a quarter century, it should be celebrated with crossed fingers that this is the
start of a rebirth. -Joel Francis

Ghost Funk Orchestra – Night Walker / Death Waltz
Weekly Review:
Six years ago, before Ghost Funk Orchestra was a 10-piece live band blending all funk-adjacent genres, it
was a one-man project helmed by Seth Applebaum. Applebaum’s first two EPs, both released in 2016,
have been remastered and are now on one LP for the first time.
Night Walker was Applebaum and Ghost Funk Orchestra’s late summer debut and the subject of side
one. The atmosphere is drenched in so much echo and reverb that it sometimes feels as if the songs are
being played on a distant, deserted planet. The song titles reflect this aura as well: “Blood Moon,” “Dark
Passage,” “Night Walker.” The nine tracks all hover around the two-minute mark, with just one breaking
three minutes.
Released just four months later, Death Waltz shows a big leap in sonic maturity. The reverb and echo
are still very much present, but the arrangements are more sophisticated, incorporating jazzy horns and
organ. The performances linger a bit longer as well, with one approaching four minutes and another well
past the three-minute mark.
Ghost Funk Orchestra’s unique, enchanting sound has earned them a loyal following. This peek back at
the group’s earliest days displays a crucial part of Applebaum’s evolution that will fascinate longtime
fans and earn them some new ones as well. -Joel Francis
