Product Details

The shift from saxophone to flute isn't a retreat; it's a declaration. Shabaka Hutchings spent years at the center of London's avant-garde jazz renaissance, leading projects like Sons of Kemet and Comet is Coming, and this solo debut finds him turning inward, drawing on breath, stillness, and a cast of collaborators who share his instinct for music as meditative practice rather than performance.


After putting down the saxophone, the instrument he has become synonymous with, Shabaka returns with his first full-length album under his own name. Perceive Its beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace is a moving suite of primarily instrumental music. Shabaka is found playing the flute on this album, and has enlisted key artists such as Andre 3000, Lianne La Havas, Moses Sumney, Floating Points and more to help build this all-encompassing aural landscape.
