Gavin Hellyer It's almost inconceivable to me how Moor Mother can just continue to deliver with such consistent excellence. Each new album seems to me to be better than the one before it. Each new album more melodic than the previous yet not at the sacrifice of creativity and experimentation. This one has soul, rap, blues and jazz all in mighty abundance. Thank you Camae for being so magnificent. Favorite track: ARMS SAVE (feat. Nicole Mitchell).

barun432 its pointless to genre define a genteel album like this, it's a sonic experience which is to be felt, folks will come back to this as more time passes by.

jezcol a story an edification about the history of black American music. Totally love this. I am white English heritage brought up on derivatives of African American music - this album is an enlightenment. I never tire of listening again and again - understanding why jazz and blues and beyond has resonated with me. Simply the human experience Favorite track: GOLDEN LADY (feat. Melanie Charles).

about

Called “the poet laureate of the apocalypse” by Pitchfork, Moor Mother is announcing ‘Jazz Codes'. Coming out on July 1, it is her second album for ANTI- and a companion to her celebrated 2021 release ’Black Encyclopedia of the Air‘.

’Jazz Codes’ uses poetry as a starting point, but the collection moves toward more melody, more singing voices, more choruses and more complexity. In its warm, densely layered course through jazz, blues, soul, hip-hop, ’Jazz Codes’ sets the ear blissfully adrift and unhitches the mind from habit. Through her work, Ayewa illuminates the principles of her interdisciplinary collaborative practice Black Quantum Futurism, a theoretical framework for creating counter-chronologies and envisioning Black quantum womanist futures that rupture exclusionary versions of history and future through art, writing, music, and performance.

Moor Mother - aka the songwriter, composer, vocalist, poet, and visual artist Camae Ayewa – is also a professor at the University of Southern California's Thornton School of Music. She released her debut album Fetish Bones in 2016 and has since put out an abundance of acclaimed music, both as a solo artist and in collaboration with other musicians who share her drive to dig up the untold. She is a member of many other groups including the free jazz group Irreversible Entanglements, 700 bliss and moor jewelry. She has also toured and recorded with The Art Ensemble of Chicago and Nicole Mitchell.
