The New Jazz Archive
Jazz and r&b both have a long history of protest songs and artists who were also potent political activists not only in the USA, but across the globe. We’ll explore how some of jazz’s most important musical pioneers wrote both subversive instrumental suites and outright angry musical manifestos, hear how American swing music became the unlikely soundtrack to an underground youth movement in Nazi Germany, and learn how the mellow sounds of the bossa nova grew into one of Latin America's most powerful protest idioms. One from the vaults – this episode was produced for Jazz Connections, an earlier version of The New Jazz Archive.
