April 01, 2021 Freedom and Protest in Jazz
Jazz is the best combination of freedom and protest-not only in its sound but in the music theory itself. This week we talk about the Bible as improv music. Each soloist, each member of that band is aligned and united in the conversation, but yet have a chance to speak their own words and their own beliefs and their own opinions. But then they come back together united, and the democratic music to communicate the theme.
Don't be fooled, there is a lot of good theology here as well if you have the ears to hear.
