shabaka - perceive its beauty, acknowledge its grace

Following his decision to step away from the saxophone, Shabaka Hutchings explores a more meditative musical language on Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace. Centred around flutes and featuring an impressive cast of collaborators including André 3000, Floating Points, Esperanza Spalding and Moses Sumney, the album blends spiritual jazz, ambient music and global influences into a deeply reflective listening experience. Beautifully understated yet emotionally powerful, it marks a compelling new chapter for one of Britain's most innovative jazz musicians.
