Rodney P’s Jazz Funk
BBC4, FRIDAY 24 JULY, 9PM
In this one-off documentary, UK hip-hop legend Rodney P tells the story of how the musical fusions of 1970s black America inspired the first generation of British-born black youth to create the early black British music culture that became the jazz funk movement. With original performances from veteran jazz funk dancers, Rodney also meets scene icons such as DJ Carl Cox and Imagination’s Leee John. HHHH
