A vibrant and subversive account of the emergence of the new UK jazz wave, encompassing its revolutionary essence and tracing its origins to the very genesis of the genre itself.
By the close of the previous century, jazz music had been widely regarded as outdated and uncool, a genre exclusively favored by disconnected white men with highly questionable musical preferences. However, by 2019, a new generation of UK jazz musicians had achieved remarkable success, selling out large venues and securing spots on prestigious festival lineups across the globe. How has UK jazz managed to completely transform its image in just twenty-five years? And how did it ever fall into the realm of uncoolness in the first place?
Looking back to the origins of jazz as an unrepentant expression of oppressed peoples, molded by the forces of slavery, imperialism, and globalization, Andre´ Marmot situates this new wave within the broader context of a divided, postcolonial Britain grappling with its identity in a new global order. These artists have created a sound that mirrors the nation as it exists today, deeply rooted in the very foundations of jazz itself.
Through eighty-six in-depth interviews with key figures who played pivotal roles in shaping this jazz renaissance and those who came before them, including Shabaka Hutchings, Nubya Garcia, Moses Boyd, Gilles Peterson, Courtney Pine, and Cleveland Watkiss, Unapologetic Expression captures the audacious spirit of a vital British musical movement.
