Era & Context
Released on Impulse! Records — the legendary jazz label — at the peak of the London jazz scene's international visibility. Each track is dedicated to a Black woman leader (Harriet Tubman, Nanny of the Maroons, Doreen Lawrence, etc.), making it an explicitly political album that connected jazz tradition with contemporary Black British activism. The title itself is a provocation aimed at the British monarchy.
Career Phase
The Sons of Kemet years — polyrhythmic Afro-Caribbean jazz with tuba, double drums, and saxophone. Political, danceable, rooted in Caribbean and African diasporic traditions.
