Shabaka and The Ancestors
Forward-looking jazz sextet here to win over heart, minds and feet.
Overview
A pulsing, undeniable groove bursts forth from this South African sextet led by London-based saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings, an acolyte of the legendary Sun Ra Arkestra. Their album Wisdom of Elders was recorded in a single day, which tells you everything you need to know about this ensemble's connectedness and singular vision. Exploring the vagaries and intricacies of modern jazz and boldly going towards an Afrofuturist future, this is music that will challenge, surprise and entrance you – and will make you get up and dance.
