Looking specifically at three key players: Jamaican saxophonist Joe Harriott, South African pianist Chris McGregor and Indian guitarist Amancio D’Silva.
It tells the story of those musicians and their contemporaries through 70 records and 70 maps showing the development of the music and the international networks through which jazz flowed.
“As well as a valuable reference book, it’s a concept which brings the music alive and encourages further exploration.”
