Jazz Is Dead series, Adrian Younge released his latest album,
The America
n Negro, a few weeks ago. The album mixes spoken word with free-form jazz, creating a project that Younge hopes will help people âunderstand the history of racism and how America has been built on a slavocracy â profiting from the forced labor of Black people,â he said in an interview with Apple Music. The album pairs with a podcast miniseries,
Invisible Blackness, and a short film titled
T.A.N. It is available on all streaming services.
