Christa Gammage explores the role of music and jazz in the 1960's American Civil Rights movement in her book, Freedom Now!: The Function of Jazz in the Civil Rights Movement. Taking a deep dive into the activism of Jazz and Jazz artists in the Bebop era, Gammage notes the impact of such activism both abroad and at home in the United States. Lastly, Gammage does a case study on Max Roach's 1960 album Freedom Now! Suite, which inspired the title of this book, and the various methods he and his wife, Abbey Lincoln, utilized performance and music to express their revolutionary views.
