André Marmot is an agent at Earth Agency in London, specialising in the common ground between African, jazz and global electronic music. Unapologetic Expression: The Inside Story of the UK Jazz Explosion, is his first book, and explores the new U.K. jazz wave, encapsulating its revolutionary spirit and tracing its foundations to the birth of the genre itself. Drawing upon extensive interviews with the likes of Shabaka Hutchings, Nubya Garcia and Moses Boyd to Gilles Peterson, Courtney Pine and Cleveland Watkiss, it captures the radical spirit of a vital musical movement, and places it within the wider context of a divided, postcolonial Britain navigating its identity in a new world order.
