Episode description
Continuing with my summer re-runs of some of the best from past podcasts.
Today, Part 4 of a series on Jazz and Politics. It’s mostly music—featuring a few long tracks, such as the whole Freedom Suite by Sonny Rollins.
A lot of this music is about freedom and the struggle for equality: for blacks and also for female artists. There is also a selection from an album inspired by conspiracy theories.
The program finishes with a jazz protest tune that became a huge hit!
