🚨 OUT NOW.
In 2020, Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad were deep in sessions for their second album together as The Midnight Hour. Then the world shut down. The recordings were shelved, and the two pivoted to build the jazz label of their dreams: Jazz Is Dead.
Six years later, those sessions are finally here. The Midnight Hour: Lost Tapes JID028 is available now on all streaming platforms and on vinyl at jazzisdead.com. 🔗
The Midnight Hour: Lost Tapes JID028 will be released tomorrow. A lost treasure nearly forgotten.

“The contrast between ALA.NI’s ethereal pipes and Younge’s cinematic orchestration, stained with melancholy and psychedelia, heighten the album’s emotional inflections...
...creating a brooding, immersive song cycle reminiscent of Minnie Riperton’s Come To My Garden, with Younge taking arranger/producer Charles Stepney’s role.” - Charles Waring, Mojo
