JAZZ
Has jazz lost its soul? During the black civil rights movement jazz was seen as a radical musical form both politically and artistically. It was threatening and dangerous to the white bourgeoisie who, according to jazz musician Gilad Atzmon, responded by claiming jazz as their own academic and technical adventure.
Laurie Taylor is joined by Gilad Atzmon and Caspar Melville, Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths University of London and author of an essay The Shape of Jazz, to discuss whether despite becoming a huge money spinner, jazz can once again become an innovative musical form of resistance.
