Description
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.
And, we've added an insert with liner notes by Aaron Cohen based on an exclusive
interview with the man himself. As for the music, it's a tight organ trio set that starts
cooking right from the get-go with a groovin' cover of Gus Cannon's "Walk Right In,"
which became a folk hit for The Rooftop Singers. Carn's fluid, forward-thinking
playing anticipates Larry Young's future keyboard forays, and originals like "Butter
from the Duck" and "Yna Yna's Delight" presage the compositional prowess he
flashed on the Black Jazz releases (note: that's Don Hales on guitar, not Gary Starling
as credited on the original record).
The opening salvo from a scintillating career, finally available again!
Tracks:
1. Walk Right In
2. Butter from the Duck
3. My One and Only Love
4. Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child
5. Free Blues
6. Yna Yna’s Delight
