Morgan Guerin has released his new single “Day By Day”,
New York-based jazz multi-instrumentalist, producer and engineer Morgan Guerin has released his new single “Day By Day”, featuring talented artists Zacchae'us Paul & Cisco Swank, via Candid Records.
Stretching seamlessly across traditional genre boundaries, “Day By Day” features a combination of jazz grooves, gospel multi-vocal delights, and cosmic synths. It is a testament to Guerin’s approach to music composition, as he spent his young yet brilliant career crafting a sound that features everything from expansive fusion grooves to ambitious instrumental improvisation, from hip-hop verses to experimental - yet intoxicating R&B melodies.
"I'm trying to get to music that people can dance to, the music that I like to hear, which means many influences, many moods, many genres. It's not 'world music' in the way people use the phrase, but some other type of world music." - says Guerin.

About Candid Records
Between 1960 and 1963 founder, A&R man, and producer Nat Hentoff recorded over 30 extraordinary albums for the new Candid Records label. One cannot underestimate the breadth of these recordings - from bebop to the avant-garde, to blues. Candid sat dormant for years until Black Lion Records founder and producer, Alan Bates, bought the label in 1989. The next phase of Candid Records is happening now. Since its relaunch in 2021, the label has reissued ten titles from the Nat Hentoff years to high critical acclaim and, thanks to brilliant new releases, has received four GRAMMY awards – 2023 winners Terri Lyne Carrington and Wayne Shorter and 2022’s multiple GRAMMY winner Eliane Elias. Today’s Candid is not only committed to its legacy but looks forward to defining its future with the quality music that is synonymous with its elite heritage.
