Harlem 69 by Stuart Cosgrove

Harlem 69 brings Stuart Cosgroves epic sixties trilogy to a dramatic conclusion and looks forward to brilliant music yet to come jazz funk to disco and hip hop.

'The best music writing this year is about black musicCosgrove’s deep dive into the year’s events is an epic feat of archival research that has been expertly marshalled into a narrative that joins the dots between Donny Hathaway, Jimi Hendrix, the Black Panthers, police corruption and the Vietnam war'

-- Teddy Jamieson * The Herald *

'An impressively granular month-by-month deep dive into Harlem’s fertile musical response to a time of social and political upheaval'

-- Ludovic Hunter Tilney * Financial Times *

‘A book, and a trilogy, that evokes an extraordinarily creative and culturally progressive time that now feels far distant'

-- Sean O’Hagan * Observer *
