The 100s of stunning photographs in this deluxe large-format hardback book capture the radicalism and self- determination of pioneering jazz artists in the 1960s and early 1970s. 
 
During this era, jazz music in the USA was in an almost constant state of revolution with the music and lives of African-American artists radicalised by civil rights, the avant garde, Black Power and a new spiritual awakening. 
 
At the start of the 1960s, jazz entered a unique new period of revolution as African-American musicians re-defined the art form in the context of the civil rights movement, afro-centric rhythm and thought and an ideology of black economic empowerment.
