Jazz Is Dead

Adrian Younge is an American composer, arranger, and music producer. Born in 1978, he has made a significant impact on the music industry. Alongside Ali Shaheed Muhammad from A Tribe Called Quest, concert producer Andrew Lojero, and industry veteran Adam Block, Adrian co-founded Jazz Is Dead. This global movement is all about community and culture.

The American Negro is an unapologetic critique, detailing the systemic and malevolent psychology that afflicts people of color. This project dissects the chemistry behind blind racism, using music as the medium to restore dignity and self-worth to my people. It should be evident that any examination of black music is an examination of the relationship between black and white America. This relationship has shaped the cultural evolution of the world and its negative roots run deep into our psyche. Featuring various special guests performing over a deeply soulful, elaborate orchestration, The American Negro reinvents the black native tongue through this album and it’s attendant short film (TAN) and 4-part podcast (invisible Blackness). The American Negro - both as a collective experience and as individual expressions - is insightful, provocative and inspiring and should land at the center of our ongoing reckoning with race, racism and the writing of the next chapter of American history.
