It's a new monthly feature that re-assesses works from the 80's and 90's, such as David Murray's 'Home', Leon Parker's 'Awakening', David Binney's 'South', Wynton Marsalis' 'Black Codes', in order to broaden our perception of jazz history and bring a wider range of sounds and ideas into what we see as the music's hall of fame.
