Soul Of A Nation: Afro-Centric Visions in the Age of Black Power - Underground Jazz, Street Funk & The Roots of Rap 1968-79
Soul Jazz Records
Soul Jazz never let us down, consistently compiling the most well researched and engaging releases, highlighting untapped and underexplored areas of music, with interesting tracklistings, in-depth sleevenotes and great images.
‘Soul Of A Nation’ shows how the ideals of the civil rights movement, black power and black nationalism influenced the evolution of African-American music in the US in the 60s, following the assassinations of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King and the rise of the Black Panther party. Ground-breaking acts such as Gil Scott-Heron, Roy Ayers, Don Cherry, Oneness Of Juju and many others, offer new afro-centric styles which combined the musical radicalism and spirituality of John Coltrane and avant-garde jazz, alongside the intense funk and soul of James Brown and Aretha Franklin and the urban poetry and proto-rap of the streets.
