This work celebrates jazz with passion and conviction, evoking a revolutionary era that inspired generations of music. Tracing the roots of “new jazz” from 1960-1972 Wilmer dissects the musical careers of the famous names – John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Albert Ayler et al – and the less well-known artists to describe its development into a crucial component of musical history. This work places new jazz in its political and social context.
