Release van Soul Jazz in het kader van de grote wereldwijde kunsttentoonstelling: Soul of A Nation: Art in the The Age of Black Power in het Tate Modern, Londen en het Brooklyn Museum in New York. Het albumlaat zien hoe de idealen van de civil rights movement , black power en het zwarte nationalisme de ontwikkeling van de radical African-American Music heeft beïnvloed in de roerige en revolutionaire periode eind jaren 60 die volgde op de moord op Malcolm X en Martin Luther King en de opkomst van de Black Panther beweging. Met baanbrekende artiesten als Gil Scott-Heron, Roy Ayers, Don Cherry, Oneness Of Juju en Sarah Webster. Soul of A Nation shows how political themes led to the rise of conscious black music as new afro-centric styles combined the musical radicalism and spirituality of John Coltrane and radical avant-garde jazz music alongside the intense funk and soul of James Brown and Aretha Franklin and the urban poetry and proto-rap of the streets.
