Adrian Younge - The American Negro, Vinyl LP

Factory Sealed (New)

Adrian Younge is behind some of the greatest jazz albums to come out since the '70s, and this album is no exception. Every song is amazing, combining jazz-funk with gorgeous, string-backed soul.

The best parts come when he integrates other genres like soul. Much of this record is devoted to spoken word interludes between most songs. At first these were annoying but we've grown to see them as part of the record's flow. They are hit or miss though, some were really interesting, like one about oxygen connecting slavery to modern police brutality, but some are just average woke talking points we've heard previously.
