ABOUT THIS CONCERT
In recent years, the most vital, inclusive, and innovative jazz scene on earth has shifted east across the Atlantic to London, and the figure that stands atop this revolution is saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings and his band Sons of Kemet. This performance was filmed in August 2019 during Summer Sessions, and the energy produced by the band and dancefloor crowd is impossible to resist.
Championed by tastemaking British DJ and Brownswood Recordings founder Gilles Peterson, the band has recorded a trio of albums including their 2018 Impulse! Records debut, Your Queen is a Reptile.
With a unique lineup featuring Hutchings, tuba player Theon Cross, and drummers Tom Skinner and Eddie Hick, the quartet blends relentless dance-ready rhythms culled from the calypso and soca of the Caribbean and the New Orleans brass band tradition with roots in West Africa.
