Saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings has been ubiquitous on the U.K.’s jazz and electronic scenes over the past half-decade with Sons of Kemet, Heliocentrics, and other bands. Earlier in 2016, he was nominated for a Mercury Prize — as part of the Comet Is Coming — for their debut full-length Channel the Spirits. He was a core member for percussionist Sarathy Korwar’s Indo-jazz fusion offering Day to Day.
Wisdom of Elders rounds out Hutchings’ portrait as a composer and bandleader. This date features the leader in the company of seven musicians from South Africa, performing his “psalm in nine parts.” Recorded in a single day in a Johannesburg studio, this exercise in Afro-Futurism (Hutchings’ term) is rooted in traditions: Afro-Caribbean folk and calypso, Sun Ra’s space-age blues, John Coltrane’s spiritual modalism, Miles Davis’ spectral In a Silent Way, and of course, South African jazz tradition that came of age
