History of Jazz Police

Jazz Police is a controversial tune written by Gil Evans and first recorded by the Miles Davis band in 1967. The composition is based on a riff played by police officers in New Orleans during the early days of jazz. The piece was recorded after the riots in Watts and is seen as a protest against police brutality. It was banned from radio airplay because of its lyrics, which include the line “jazz police / beating up on my brothers / just because they’re playin’ something new.”
