Jazz File

Cry Freedom

Part One

Kevin Le Gendre presents the first of a four part series that celebrates jazz artists who have used their music to protest.
There is a canon of resistance songs in jazz that stretches through Billie Holiday's Strange Fruit, and Duke Ellintgon's Black, Brown And Beige in the 50s via Max Roach and Oscar Brown Jnr in the 60s, Archie Shepp in the 70s and into the present with artists like Craig Harris, Denys Baptiste and Kip Hanrahan.

The Civil rights struggle of the 1960s produced anthemic music but many jazz artists have continued to champion human rights issues including homelessness, poverty and women's equality. The brave activism of the civil rights era, through to bold critiques of contemporary governments are discussed by musicians who are not afraid to speak their minds. Contributors include Archie Shepp, Max Roach, Hugh Masekela, Jayne Cortez, Don Byron, Dave Douglas and Gary Crosby.
