Do you have a relationship with jazz? Maybe it’s something your parents loved, a genre that’s kept you company throughout your life, or a type of music you’ve always been meaning to explore.
Join us in this episode for an alternate history of jazz. We learn how it started in Africa, then crisscrossed the planet, following the movements of people and empires.
Anne and Steve recorded much of this show, part of our series “Ideas From Africa” in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and brought back the sounds and interviews you’ll hear.
