About Doug Carn

Doug Carn is an American jazz musician, multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, and producer. He is best known for four recordings on the Black Jazz label between 1971 and 1973, including Infant Eyes, Spirit of the New Land, and Revelation, with his then-wife Jean Carn on vocals. These recordings are considered classics for melding spiritual jazz, progressive soul, post-bop, and improvisation. He converted to Islam, and in 1977 issued the jazz-funk outing Al Rahman! Cry of the Floridian Tropic Son, on which he mixed his soul and jazz roots with facets of Islamic culture. In 1990, he resumed recording as a leader on Virgo with vocalist Terri Davis. In 2001, he issued A New Incentive: Firm Roots on the reinvigorated Black Jazz label. In 2020, he teamed with producer/instrumentalists Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge to release the collaborative Doug Carn JID005.
