Celebrating what would have been Gil Scott-Heron's 74th birthday, I took another deep dive deep into his catalogue with Brian Jackson — the pianist, flautist, musical director and composer that mobilised Scott-Heron's words from 1970 to 1980.

*Please excuse my sketchy editing and voice notes*

A huge thank you to Brian & to Tess at Skylab Radio!
