Gotta love Robin D.G. Kelley, public intellectual, jazz aficionado, and an academic unafraid to take a stance. I have read his excellent biography of Monk, enjoyed his take on cultural politics and discourses of race and class, was fascinated by Black Communists in Alabama during the Great Depression, and was enthralled by his analysis of exchanges between Africa and US in the lives of 4 understudied jazz artists.
