Over the last half decade, Shabaka Hutchings has established himself
as a central figure in the London jazz scene, which is enjoying its
greatest creative renaissance since the breakthroughs of Joe Harriott
and Evan Parker in the 1960s. Hutchings has a restlessly creative and
refreshingly open-minded spirit, playing in a variety of groups,
including the uniquely spiritual and powerful Shabaka & the Ancestors.
The project was formed in early 2016, leading to their debit album
later that year _Wisdom of Elders_; a document of sessions combining
Hutchings with a group of South African jazz musicians he’d long
admired. His connection to the group was Mandla Mlangeni (bandleader
of the Amandla Freedom Ensemble), whom he’d flown there to play with
over the past few years. Recorded across just one day, the group drew
on their South African lineage – heroes like Zim Ngquwana and Bheki
Mseleku – to bring their own slant to the American jazz lineage
being reconfigured in Hutchings’ compositions themselves.
In early 2020, the group will return with their hotly anticipated
second album, released on the iconic Impulse! Label, home to the
spiritual jazz legend John Coltrane.
Hutchings has three primary projects – Shabaka and the Ancestors,
Sons of Kemet and Comet is Coming. Between them, Hutchings has
gathered a substantial number of awards and nominations, including
winning the 2013 MOBO ‘Jazz Act of the Year’, winner of the 2014
Paul Hamlyn Composer Award, 2015 Jazz FM Awards ‘Instrumentalist of
the Year’, 2016 Mercury Music Prize nomination, 2017 Jazz FM Awards
‘UK Jazz Act of the Year’, 2018 Jazz FM Awards ‘Jazz Innovation
of the Year’ and a 2018 Mercury Music Prize nomination.
