Sons Of Kemet – African Cosmology (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Shabaka Hutchings built Sons of Kemet into one of the most vital ensembles in contemporary jazz, their tuba-and-two-drummers lineup a genuinely radical departure from convention. "Black To The Future" arrived in 2021 as a politically charged statement rooted in Afrofuturism and the Black British experience, and these two session outtakes reveal the depth of creative material the band had to draw from during that period.
This RSD Black Friday exclusive single features two never-before-heard B-sides from the same sessions as the globally acclaimed new Sons of Kemet record, Black To The Future. “Rites of Passage” is an 11-minute exploratory, contemplative composition led by Shabaka Hutchings’ colorful melodies. “Myth Science” showcases Kemet at their most realized, a rich arrangement coupled with driving, inter-woven percussions and lyrical horn playing.
