In March, London-based jazz saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings traveled south to downtown Knoxville, TN for Big Ears 2019, a “singular festival experience that explores connections between musicians and artists, effortlessly crossing the boundaries of musical genres as well as artistic disciplines”. In between sets (Shabaka performed with both of his bands: The Comet is Coming + Sons of Kemet), he shared a bit about his background, his early session work on Jonny Greenwood’s film score for “The Master”, and his latest projects on Impulse! records. Shabaka Hutchings is on tour this summer with, both, The Comet is Coming and Sons of Kemet.
