Shabaka and the Ancestors

Shabaka & the Ancestors is a modern avant-jazz octet led by British/Caribbean tenor saxophonist and composer Shabaka Hutchings. Though Shabaka Hutchings is perhaps best known for playing in Pete Wareham’s Melt Yourself Down, he has long been finding ways of escaping the trappings of their pop sensibilities – playing in the Sun Ra Arkestra in 2014 – and pushing himself musically. And on Wisdom of Elders Hutchings delves even further into the spiritual jazz that originated in part with Sun Ra, with the help of a new band in Johannesburg. Hutchings had made several trips to South Africa between 2012 and 2014, immersing himself in the wide variety of the country’s rich musical heritage. In early 2015, he assembled this group to “present the musical language that I normally associate with my U.K. bands in the context of Shabaka & the Ancestors’ music and musical sensibilities.” He composed a psalm in nine parts and recorded it. The finished album, Wisdom of Elders, was issued on Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood label in September 2016. « hide
