Moor Mother: on free jazz as a liberation technology and curating at LGW18

"I call free jazz a liberation technology, and it’s very essential to anything that I make. It has to have that conductor running through my music for it to be successful, or for me to get across the point that I want to get across.
Philly-based noise artist, activist and wordsmith Moor Mother curates her very own program at Le Guess Who? 2018.
We catch up with her in London, before a performance at Café OTO, to discuss writing political songs, free jazz, and putting Saul Williams and King Britt together for a special collaboration as part of her curation.
"Musicians really breaking their own pressure point or so-called limitations, and just being authentic. That was the thread that I wanted to have running through the curation."
