Preview: Shabaka Hutchings’ OneFest @ Leadmill & EartH (Sheffield & London; Saturday 14th and Saturday 21st September 2019)
If the London jazz scene has a face, that’s the one of ShabakaHutchings. The saxophonist, clarinettist and bandleader has indeed surged as one of the most popular interpreters of the movement, playing solo or collaborating and enriching the work of many of its actors, and becoming its ambassador around the world.
So, it’s no surprise that the British-Barbadian musician is also the protagonist of OneFest, a brand-new festival happening on 14th September at the Leadmill in Sheffield and one week later (21st September) at EartH in Hackney. The event, meant to support and promote some of the most promising younger talents of the British jazz scene, will offer a daytime and night-time programme.
If the former will feature workshops, panels, and Q&As about the state of affairs of the UK music scene and its issues, the latter will showcase that scene, hosting musicians like Maisha, Nat Birchall and Okamu, Herbert, Skinner + ByronWallen and many more.
Don’t miss the chance to get an in-depth and unadulterated look at and listen to the UK jazz condition, thanks to this forward-looking project.

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…
