SHABAKANow concentrating on a repertoire composed for a vast collection of flutes, English musician SHABAKA unveils on stage the delicate wonders of his album Perceive its Beauty, Acknowledge its Grace.It's a journey like few others, both dazzling and singular. Discovered in the mid-2010s, Shabaka Hutchings has naturally established himself as one of the greatest saxophonists of our time, thanks to the virtuosity of his playing and the breadth of the territory covered by his various projects: the spiritual jazz of Shabaka and the Ancestors, the incredible percussive energy of Sons of Kemet or the incisive electronica of The Comet is Coming. All this dizzying activity has taken its toll on the musician's health, and he has decided to leave his instrument of choice behind, turning to flutes and new sonic terrains. Released in 2024 on the Impulse! label, Perceive its Beauty, Acknowledge its Grace is the fruit of a patient apprenticeship in Japanese shakuhachi, Brazilian pifanos and Native American flutes. A collection of 11 meditative, sophisticated tracks, the album was recorded with a handful of guests, including Floating Points, Saul Williams and Lianne La Havas - a sign of a mind more than ever open to the sounds of the world around it.

SHABAKADésormais concentré sur un répertoire composé pour une vaste collection de flûtes, le musicien anglais SHABAKA dévoile sur scène les délicates merveilles de son album Perceive its Beauty, Acknowledge its Grace.C’est un trajet comme on en voit peu, à la fois fulgurant et singulier. Découvert au mitan des années 2010, Shabaka Hutchings s’est imposé naturellement comme l’un des plus grands saxophonistes de l’époque, par la virtuosité de son jeu comme par l’étendue du territoire arpenté avec ses différents projets : le spiritual jazz de Shabaka and the Ancestors, l’incroyable énergie percussive de Sons of Kemet ou l’électronique incisive de The Comet is Coming. Cette activité vertigineuse aura fait vaciller la santé du musicien, qui a choisi de laisser derrière lui son instrument de prédilection pour se tourner vers les flûtes et de nouveaux terrains sonores. Paru en 2024 sous le label Impulse! et fruit d’un patient travail d’apprentissage du shakuhachi japonais, des pifanos brésiliens ou encore des flûtes amérindiennes, Perceive its Beauty, Acknowledge its Grace est un album d’une grande douceur. Collection de 11 plages méditatives et sophistiquées, le disque a été enregistré avec une poignée d’invités, dont Floating Points, Saul Williams ou Lianne La Havas – signe d’un esprit plus que jamais ouvert aux sons du monde qui l’entoure.
