Welcome back to this week’s edition of The Rebel Beat podcast. On this show, it is our huge pleasure to welcome back our guest DJ Andy Williams of The Goods and the Jazz Amnesty Sound System. Andy is a veritable local DJ legend in Montreal, and this was the second time we’ve had him on The Rebel Beat, following his amazing set on jazz and the Civil Rights Movement for Black History Month.

This time around, Andy was back in studio to talk about a new series of classes he’s offering at the McGill University Centre for Continuing Studies on The Diaspora of Jazz. On this week’s podcast, he focuses on the famed Alpha Boys School in Kingston, Jamaica, and jazz’s influence on reggae and ska music, as well as the politics of early Jamaican music.
Plus we have new music on this week’s show from Dub Trinity, 47Soul from Palestine, Jerusalem in my Heart, Outernational, and more. Enjoy!
