Preview: Shabaka Hutchings, Hieroglyphic Being & Sarathy Korwar @ Jazz Café (London, 17th August 2017)
On Thursday, August 17th, three musical legends come together to create something beautiful at Camden’s Jazz Cafe. Arguably the most recognisable name of the three is Shabaka Hutchings, one of Britain’s most prolific saxophonists who you might know from his work with Sons of Kemet, Sun Ra Arkestra, The Comet is Coming, Mulatu Astatke & the Heliocentrics, Polar Bear, Soweto Kinch, and of course, Shabaka & The Ancestors, to name but a few!
For this special event, Shabaka Hutchings will join forces with Sarathy Korwar and Hieroglyphic Being for their first public outing as a trio. They previously recorded a 90 minute improvisational set with NTS which bubbled over with creativity and promise.
Sarathy Korwar was trained as a classical tabla player under the guidance of Shri Rajeev Devasthali and Pandit Sanju Sahai. Since moving to London, he has collaborated with jazz improv heavyweights like Karl Berger & Ingrid Sertso, and plenty of Indian classical musicians too. He’s also performed for the Dalai Lama, supported Kamasi Washington, and released an album on Ninja Tune.
The final piece of the puzzle is the enigmatic Hieroglyphic Being AKA Jamal Moss – an underground producer who has been on the Chicago House scene for decades. A futuristic composer, he creates lo-fi beats that refuse to be pigeonholed, drawing influence from genres like house, avant-garde and industrial.
Together, you can be sure that these three will create something totally original and moving – and that future jazz alchemy will happen before your very eyes! Get your tickets now for this one-off collaboration at the Jazz Cafe, first released tickets are available for £10

An inaugural festival is always going to be packed with risk and suspense, and after the downpour that Friday night experienced, a breath was held in anticipation of Saturday’s events. However, it is with sheer delight I report that the proceedings seemingly went ahead seamlessly. Saturday I have to jump…

The concept of an outdoor jazz festival hardly conjures images of glitter-filled Glastonbury excitement, a young hip crowd and dance-fuelled elation. However, previously exclusive jazz appears to be undergoing a fashion revolution and the grounds of Glynde Place hinted at this. Love Supreme, the UK’s only three-day greenfield jazz festival…
Sons of Kemet are no longer a fresh faced new group on the London music scene. After five years and two successful albums, their name has spread far-and-wide becoming a sought after act. Their music is more eclectic and harder to define than ever, but that doesn’t prevent it is enthralling. In…
