Real Gone Music

Doug Carn is a soul-jazz pianist, songwriter, and producer. Born on July 14, 1948 in St. Augustine, Florida, he gained recognition for his collaborations with Jean Carn on a series of albums at Black Jazz Records in the early 70s. Throughout his career, Doug has worked with renowned artists such as Nat Adderley, Earth Wind & Fire, Shirley Horn, Lou Donaldson, Stanley Turrentine, and Irene Reid. After converting to Islam, he changed his name to Abdul Rahim Ibrahim. His music is reminiscent of Calvin Keys, Henry Franklin and other influential artists from the era.

Doug Carn made four records for the Black Jazz label, more than any other artist, and each one topped the previous release’s lofty standard. Adam’s Apple was his last (1974) album for the label, representing the final note in his staggeringly creative crescendo. It was also the first record without Jean Carn, but Carn and crew (John Conner and Joyce Greene) don’t miss a beat on the vocals. And the band is absolutely sick, featuring reedman Ronnie Laws and fellow Black Jazz recording artist Calvin Keys on guitar, and led by Carn’s increasingly electronic forays on various keyboards. The result is a record that brings to mind Herbie Hancock’s Headhunters, electric Miles, maybe even Earth, Wind, and Fire (Carn covers EW&amp;F’s “Mighty Mighty”), but all overlaid with an uplifting gospel vibe. To quote Pat Thomas’ liner notes (which feature extensive quotes from Doug Carn himself), “Adam’s Apple is more energetic, funky, and futuristic than Carn’s earlier Black Jazz work. In short, sublime.” Newly remastered and available on CD, black vinyl, or orange with black streaks vinyl limited to 750 copies and exclusive to independent record stores.
