I had all of the Doug and Jean Carn albums and have seen them at the East in Brooklyn back in the day. They truly complemented each other and I’m hard pressed to think of any group that affected me as much as Doug and Jean. Their musical influence on me was that powerful. Revelation and Contemplation being two of my all time favorites. When the Black Jazz site was still around, I was able to get Revelation and Infant Eyes in CD format. They even sent me a third CD as a bonus. Doug Carn now has a MySpace page and the public can hear some his his (and her) fantastic work. I noted another vocalist doing Revelation on Doug’s MySpace page. She has a nice voice, but Jean Carn owns that song. Thank You.

Jean Carne--a brief stint with the Duke Ellington Orchestra and singing backup with Earth, Wind & Fire on their first two albums....that blows me away! PLEASE release the CD quality classics to replace my worn vinyls! Also, WHUR in D.C. used to play Doug, Miles, Byrd, Hubbard, Coltrane and Sun Ra all night long...I sorely miss the late 70's! The lp Infant Eyes is the essence of the 70's Black Jazz scene Amir -webmaster slystone.com

It was by chance that I happened to walk into a record shop last year (2006), that was playing a track from a Doug Carn album, titled Spirit Of The New Land. I was mesmerised by the vocal contribution, of a certain Jean Carn.

I recently bought a hard to find CD reissue copy of The Best of Doug Carn. This compilation contains tracks from the four albums Carn recorded for the Black Jazz label, during the early/mid 1970s: Revelation, Adam’s Apple, Infant Eyes, and Spirit Of The New Land. Jean Carn is among the featured vocallists.

I was slightly disappointed that the track God is One, is omitted from the Best Of album. The track appears on side one of Revelation. It is only two minutes long, but Jean’s vocals are magnificent. In my humble opinion, it should have been longer.

2 years back while in theUK I came across Jean’s double album ‘Sweet and wonderful and Jean Carn’, and I am truly impressed with her vocal styling. However I am unable to come across any specific reference on the net having to do with her vocal ability, as done about Mariah and Minnie. Does anyone know her vocal range and her highest recorded note. Thankfully to Hotget.com I heard few more of her other songs which include ‘Completeness’ and I hear the exact; if not a higher upper register than on the Minnie version; was it really Jean Carne who sang that note? If so that was amazing. I am so intrigiued by her that I ordered her Expansion dvd release, her duet album and her two first solo albums and I CAN’T WAIT TO GET THEM.

I stumbled upon your site while searching for info on Doug or Jean Carn. This action was prompted by my listening to the Infant Eyes release. I have been enjoying this music since I first heard it in the early 70′s and it still has a wonderful disburdening effect .

Your site is such a great concept and presented in a welcome unclutterd manner. I will be visiting regularly. Thanks for helping to keep the music alive.

Peace & Blessings….. Chet
