Introducing Unapologetic Expression: The Inside Story of the UK Jazz Explosion by André Marmot.
Some exciting reading to get your teeth stuck into for 2024 📖 👉
Introducing Unapologetic Expression: The Inside Story of the UK Jazz Explosion by André Marmot.
For many in the nineties, jazz was viewed as an obsolete, uncool music, a genre loved by out of touch white men with questionable taste. And yet, by 2019, a new generation of UK jazz musicians were selling out major venues worldwide. How has UK jazz regenerated its image so totally in twenty-five years? And how did it ever become uncool in the first place?
Reaching back to the roots of jazz as the ‘unapologetic expression’ of oppressed peoples, shaped by the forces of slavery, imperialism and globalisation, André Marmot places this new wave within the wider context of a divided, postcolonial Britain navigating its identity in a new world order.
Drawing upon eighty-four interviews with key architects of this jazz renaissance and those who came before them - from Shabaka Hutchings, Nubya Garcia and Moses Boyd to Gilles Peterson, Courtney Pine and Cleveland Watkiss - Unapologetic Expression captures the radical spirit of a vital British musical movement.
Out on 2 May and available to pre-order now via Faber Books ✨
