IMPULSE 60: MESSAGE RECEIVED
Our February Black History Month special focused on the intersection of jazz and activism. Those of you who appreciated that excursion will want to jump on Impulse Records: Music, Message & the Moment, the extraordinary new boxed set celebrating the 60th anniversary of the trailblazing jazz label. The 4-LP collection features landmark recordings by The John Coltrane Quartet, Max Roach, Quincy Jones, Charles Mingus, Pharoah Sanders, Oliver Nelson, Shirley Scott and plenty more.
The material underscores the political force, spiritual uplift and Black pride that have always been present—but have too often been overlooked—in the evolution of this quintessentially American music.
In addition to these indelible tracks, Music, Message & the Moment comes with a lavishly illustrated booklet, a badass Impulse slipmat to class up your turntable and other treats.
