Standing event
British multi-instrumentalist and composer Shabaka Hutchings is one of the leading lights of the London jazz scene. His bands include Sons of Kemet, The Comet is Coming and Shabaka and the Ancestors. In early 2024, he took a break from the saxophone and became fascinated by the flute and its place in global music cultures. In this solo concert he presents a selection of his reflective, melancholic and transcendental works for many kinds of flute.
On his album Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace (Impulse! 2024), Shabaka’s captivating flute playing blends jazz and new age music into a meditative and melodic experience, together with star collaborators Esperanza Spalding, Jason Moran, Floating Points, Laraaji, Brandee Younger and André 3000.
Shabaka’s live sets are constantly evolving and reflect a creative mind in flow. Come and hear one of the most individual creative musicians in the contemporary jazz world.
