The Front Row

Free Radicals

We feature the Houston jazz collective Free Radicals, nine-time winner in the “Best Jazz” category of the Houston Press Music Awards.  Through multi-lingual songs drawing from funk, jazz, Afro-beat, Latin and other global musical traditions and influences, the album explores the various types of walls that power-wielders put up in order to oppress the people.  Band members Nick Cooper and Theo Bijarro chat with us and share tracks from the band's new album The Freedom Fence.
