Recorded at the Talking Shop 2024. 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. James Endeacott was born in Halifax on St
Patrick’s day 1965, and the first record he bought with his own
money was Space Oddity by David Bowie. He was 10, and in some
regards he has been working in and with music ever since. From
playing in bands and working in record shops, to managing
Tindersticks, hanging out with The Strokes, and signing The
Libertines to Rough Trade. He started his own label, scored a
number one album, and these days presents a show on Soho Radio
every weekday morning.
