A new book by the purveyor of musical tastes, Gilles Peterson and the boss of Soul Jazz Records, Stuart Baker! U know this is going to be quality.
The book, Freedom Rhythm & Sound (subtitled "Revolutionary Jazz Original Cover Art 1965-83") offers an art perspective, through its display of cover artwork, on the development of Afro-centric jazz and its social and political influences in the 60s to its decline in the 80s.
Together with the artwork, there are write-ups by Gilles and Stuart on the various artists featured in the book.
Essential for anyone who has an interest in music, particularly jazz.
