In 2023, Shabaka Hutchings shook things up by announcing that he would no longer play the saxophone. The leader of Sons of Kemet, The Comet is Coming, Shabaka and The Ancestors and others has many desires and passions, and his work transcends conventional notions of genre and draws on a vast array of cultural influences. While he is undoubtedly a pioneering voice in the renaissance of British jazz, he has also performed classical concertos with world-renowned orchestras and recently released a critically acclaimed solo album, Afrikan Culture, a work of exceptional beauty and urgency, focusing on the East Asian instrument, the Shakuhachi, of which Shabaka is now one of the leading interpreters.
