Prolific poet, musician, playwright, professor and artist Camae Ayewa, who performs as Moor Mother (among many other monikers), is releasing a deluxe edition of last year's phenomenal Jazz Codes, featuring unreleased tracks including today's 'We Got The Jazz'. Featuring vocal contributions from Kyle Kidd, saxophone from Keir Neuringer and trumpet Aquiles Navarro, the new track is a critical rumination on modern jazz music and popular music over swooning vocals and horns with Ayewa's usual sculpted eloquence.“‘We Got The Jazz’ is me thinking about how mediocre a lot of popular music is, about its capitalistic structures and how those placements are bought and paid for,” Ayewa said of the track: "I’m speaking about the whitewashing of who’s allowed to participate in jazz, who is allowed to participate in poetry, and asking where the room for innovation is, now and in the future . It’s also me thinking about my jazz band, Irreversible Entanglements, and how we’ve toured the world destroying stages, uplifting audiences, and inspiring everyone on the jazz scene with or without recognition. I’m also speaking about my own influence on the culture." The expanded Jazz Codes is set for release on the 19th of May on ANTI- Records. -Toby Evans-Jesra
