Here is the second part of an edition of Mondo Jazz celebrating the birth of James Baldwin, 100 years ago in Harlem, through the countless connections between his life and work, the music he loved and the music he inspired.
The playlist features David Linx; Marty Ehrlich; Heroes Are Gang Leaders; Byron Asher; Bessie Smith; Mahalia Jackson; and Viktor Lazlo.
Detailed playlist at https://spinitron.com/RFB/pl/19628356/Mondo-Jazz (from "A Lover's Question, Pt. II" onwards).
Happy listening!
