In December 2016, JazzTimes traced the history of protest in jazz. It touched on classics like Louis Armstrongâs â(What Did I Do to Be So) Black and Blueâ and Billie Holidayâs âStrange Fruit,â right up to the fiery 'We Insist! Max Roachâs Freedom Now Suiteâ and Archie Sheppâs âAttica Blues.â But they left out the first album-length statement of the Civil Rights Era, leading longtime subscriber Sonny Rollins to write in and defend his magnificent yet oddly overshadowed 1958 album, âFreedom Suite.â The editors of JazzTimes werenât the only ones to mistakenly pass it by.
