2024 Biamp Portland Jazz Festival: Shabaka Hutchings

with Charles Overton, Chris Sholar, Esperanza Spalding, Burniss Travis, and Austin Williamson

Shabaka’s work transcends conventional notions of genre and draws from a vast pallet of cultural influences. Whilst he’s undeniably a pioneering voice in the renaissance of British Jazz, his remit is much broader: he has also performed classical concertos with world-leading orchestras; led several hugely influential bands (Sons of Kemet, The Comet is Coming, Shabaka and The Ancestors); and has recently released a critically lauded solo album, Afrikan Culture, a work of exceptional beauty and urgency, focussed around the eastern Asian instrument, the Shakuhachi, of which Shabaka is a major exponent.
