Description Freedom Music traces the history of how early African American and jazz music came to Wales.
From Abolitionist collaborations, minstrelsy, ragtime, blues, hot music, and swing, Jen Wilson shows us an innovative side of Wales previously hidden from history.
This music appealed to Wales' vibrant youth and those not part of the mainstream culture of chapels, choirs, and male voice choirs.
Wilson unfolds this musical history by examining women's emancipation, gende.
