Kamasi Washington & Christian Scott discuss music & civil rights at North Sea Jazz Festival 2016

PANEL: MUSIC & CIVIL RIGHTS WITH KAMASI WASHINGTON AND CHRISTIAN SCOTT – Ashley Kahn (moderator); Kamasi Washington (tenor saxophone); Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah (trumpet).

Although the Civil Right movement of the 60s and the anti-apartheid movements of the 80s are seen by many as struggles of the past, discussions about civil right have flared up again. What is the role musicians can have when it comes to social and political issues? Saxophonist Kamasi Washington and trumpeter Christian Scott discuss their experiences and those of fellow musicians.
