The age of Roach's Freedom Now Suite, Coltrane's A Love Supreme, and Mingus's The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady was a time when jazz became newly militant and newly seductive, its example shaping the social dramas of the Civil Rights movement, the Black Power movement, and the counterculture. Saul tells the broader story of this period.
