Listen to Dezron Douglas & Brandee Younger Cover the Stylistics' “You Make Me Feel Brand New” from New Album December 1, 2020 For Immediate Release Listen to Dezron Douglas & Brandee Younger Cover The Stylistics’ “You Make Me Feel Brand New” From New Album, Force Majeure, Out This Friday on International Anthem ​ ​ (Photo by Deneka Peniston) "Compiled from a soul-affirming livestream series that they shared from their Harlem apartment, [Force Majeure is] a portrait of resilience, solidarity and reassurance.” — WBGO ​ ​ ​ “Modal jazz classics by Pharoah Sanders and the Coltranes rub shoulders with heavenly, harmonically rich readings of soul standards such as You Make Me Feel Brand New by the Stylistics and Clifton Davis’s Never Can Say Goodbye, with Younger lurching from modal flourishes to the more chromatic, bop-influenced improvisations of Dorothy Ashby.” — The ​ Guardian (“Contemporary Album of the Month,” 4 stars) “Building on their weekly livestream and recorded in their living room with a single microphone, Force Majeure finds the duo swimming freely between the great canon of jazz compositions and familiar, contemporary popular songs.” — Bandcamp (“Album of the Day”) ​ Bassist Dezron Douglas and harpist Brandee Younger will release their debut album as a ​ ​ ​ ​ duo, Force Majeure, this Friday on International Anthem. Today, they present new single, ​ ​ ​ ​ “You Make Me Feel Brand New,” a cover of The Stylistics’ classic, written by Thom Bell and ​ ​ ​ Linda Creed. It follows previous singles, the pair’s “warm and inviting” (Stereogum) cover of ​ ​ Pharoah Sanders & Leon Thomas’ “The Creator Has A Master Plan,” and “Sing,” which was ​ ​ originally written by Joe Raposo for Sesame Street. ​ ​ Douglas & Younger’s rendition of “You Make Me Feel Brand New” opens with light, magnetic flutters from Younger’s harp and strolling plucks on Douglas’ bass. Complementing each other, the two instruments create a drifting, blissful piece. Listen to “You Make Me Feel Brand New” by Dezron Douglas & Brandee Younger A comforting album that cathartically encapsulates an all-too-familiar human experience of 2020, Force Majeure features 11 pieces performed by Douglas and Younger across a series of ​ ​ live-streamed shows from their living room in Harlem, NY, all self-recorded by the duo using just a single microphone. Both active educators and acclaimed musicians in their own right, Douglas and Younger have established themselves as major forces in contemporary creative music. Douglas, a protégé of the great Jackie McLean, is known for his prolific work with Pharoah Sanders, Ravi ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Coltrane, Cyrus Chestnut, and many others, while Younger, whose work has been featured ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ in Beyoncé’s concert documentary Beyoncé: Homecoming as well as Quincy Jones & Steve ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ McQueen’s 2019’s “Soundtrack of America” series, is also known for her work with Coltrane, ​ and has collaborated with the likes of Moses Sumney, Lauryn Hill, Salaam Remi, and more. Parsing through their weekly “Force Majeure: Brunch in the Crib with Brandee & Dezron” ​ live streams, the duo worked alongside International Anthem to review the recordings; together they compiled, edited, and eventually arrived at the stream-to-songbook of Force ​ Majeure. Between the choicest takes of tunes chosen for the final album sequence, they put ​ excerpts of their sometimes cute or comedic, often profound banter. Notably Douglas’s voice ends both Side A and Side B with off-the-cuff variations of: “Black Music cannot be replicated, it can only be expressed.” Like poetic bookends for Force Majeure, his words could also serve ​ ​ as foundational principles for the work, underscoring the importance of authenticity and integrity in music. Douglas and Younger will celebrate the release of Force Majeure with a livestream set on ​ ​ ​ ​ Friday, December 18th at 11am EST via International Anthem’s Bandcamp page. ​ ​ ​ Listen to “The Creator Has A Master Plan” by Dezron Douglas & Brandee Younger Listen to “Sing” by by Dezron Douglas & Brandee Younger Pre-order Force Majeure ​ Download cover art & hi-res images of Dezron Douglas & Brandee Younger (Force Majeure Cover Artwork by Esther Sibiude) ​ ​ Dezron Douglas Online: Bandcamp | Instagram | Facebook ​ ​ ​ ​ Brandee Younger Online: Website | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For more information, contact: Sam McAllister | Pitch Perfect PR - [email protected], 651-528-3577 ​ ​ ### .

Throughout our thirty-six Sunday and eight Friday performances, we ask the questions who, what, when, where, why, and how music and art reflect — and affect — our daily lives in the twenty-first century.

  • Jazz Artist Jazz Group
    66 ANNUAL CRITICS POLL JAZZ ARTIST JAZZ GROUP THERE’S SOMETHING PARTICULARLY APT ABOUT VIJAY IYER’S ACADEMIC TITLES AT HARVARD UNIVERSITY, WHERE HE’S BEEN TEACHING SINCE 2014: Franklin D. and Florence Rosenblatt Professor of the Arts and Graduate Advisor in Creative Practice and Critical Inquiry. Yes, the endowed chair is nice, but “professor of the arts” and “advisor in creative practice” seem to sum up the man. It’s fitting that the terminology here is not “jazz studies” or “theory and practice,” but rather, “the arts” and “critical inquiry.” For Iyer—winner of the 2018 DownBeat Critics Poll categories Jazz Artist of the Year and Jazz Group (for his namesake sextet)—jazz doesn’t exist in isolation. Which is another reason why the appointment at Harvard, with its core liberal arts program, suits the 46-year-old pianist’s particular take on jazz, on music, on the arts and on the world. A child of immigrants, and the winner of multiple accolades—including a handful of previous DownBeat Critics Poll wins with his longstanding trio (with bassist Stephan Crump and drummer Marcus Gilmore) and a 2013 MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship— Iyer began his academic career as a scientist. He was a physics and math major as an undergraduate at Yale, and his Ph.D. thesis at the University of California, Berkeley, was titled, “Microstructures of Feel, Macrostructures of Sound: Embodied Cognition in West African and African-American Musics.” So his pedagogical inclination is toward diversity, and his expansive attitude toward jazz is second nature. 24 DOWNBEAT AUGUST 2018 AUGUST 2018 DOWNBEAT 25 Jimmy & Dena Katz “This isn’t a school of music,” Iyer says, sitting read a black author or maybe they’ve never had learn how to hear in different ways and learn in his basement office in the Harvard Music a black teacher.” On the other hand, “I also have how to accommodate other perspectives.
