Various Artists - Soul of a Nation 2: Jazz Is the Teacher Funk Is the Preacher (New Vinyl LP)

Soul Jazz Records’ new release ‘Soul of a Nation: Jazz is the Teacher, Funk is the Preacher’ is a powerful collection of radical jazz, street funk and proto-rap made in the era of Black Power (1969-75). This is the second ‘Soul of a Nation’ album featuring ground-breaking African-American artists exploring new Afro-Centric poly-rhythmical styles of music alongside Black Power and civil-rights inspired notions of self-definition, self-respect and self-empowerment in their own lives.
