Shabaka Hutchings’ work transcends conventional notions of genre and draws from a vast palette of cultural influences. Whilst he’s undeniably a pioneering voice in the renaissance of British Jazz, his remit is much broader: he has also performed classical concertos with world-leading orchestras; led several hugely influential bands (Sons of Kemet, The Comet is Coming, Shabaka and The Ancestors) and has recently released solo album; Afrikan Culture focussed around the eastern Asian instrument, the Shakuhachi, of which Shabaka is a major exponent.
