The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: Haseeb Iqbal on Gil Scott Heron | The Listening Room

In our latest Listening Room session, resident Haseeb Iqbal dedicates a full session to the godfather of rap and soul-jazz poetry, Gil Scott-Heron. Iqbal traces Gil Scott-Heron's journey from Harlem to the birth of hip-hop and brings up the story of his father, Celtic FC's first Black footballer, his work with Brian Jackson and much more. The Listening Room is an ongoing series from The Vinyl Factory in which artists, selectors and writers explore music through focused listening and archival research.
