A brand new musical project led and produced by multi-instrumentalist Jake Ferguson, bassist and co-founder of the acclaimed Heliocentrics (Now Again, Strut, Madlib Invazion, Soundway). The Architecture of Oppression combines poetry, song and testimony with Ferguson’s cinematic deep jazz sound in a committed, collaborative response to local and global systems of anti-black racism and state violence. The album equally reflects the other side of Ferguson’s professional life: his high-profile work as a frontline activist for racial justice and social equity in London and beyond.
Numerous contributors to the album include singer and political activist Jermain Jackman, a former winner of The Voice (2014); Brownswood recordings artist Zara McFarlane; Chicagoan activist, poet and singer Ugochi Nwaogwugwu; Lee Jasper, longstanding campaigner for racial justice and former advisor on equalities to the Mayor of London; acclaimed performance poet Dylema; Hackney community leader Janette Collins MBE; and Leroy Logan MBE, founder and former chair of the Black Police Association and the subject of Steve McQueen’s Small Axe episode ‘Red, White and Blue’.
