Release Date: 03/04/26
Antonio Carlos & Jocafi team up with Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad for Jazz Is Dead 026, a vibrant new chapter from the legendary Bahian duo. Sparked by an introduction from Beto Barreto (Baiana System), the Los Angeles sessions embraced an intuitive, improvisatory approach that yielded fresh compositions on the spot. The result is a richly textured set that bridges Salvador’s Mercado Modelo and the global stage, weaving Bahia’s folkloric rhythms and storytelling into Jazz Is Dead’s warm, analog soul. Featuring contributions from Loren Oden, this release celebrates creative kinship and reaffirms the duo’s timeless spirit for a new generation of listeners.
