TONIGHT || Prolific reedist Shabaka Hutchings brings his paradigm-shifting jazz band SonsOfKemet to LincolnHall for their first Chicago appearance since last year's 'Black to the Future.'
Barbadian-British reedist Shabaka Hutchings can’t contain his creativity within a single group—right now he has three. His most expansive is Shabaka & the Ancestors, a sextext featuring several South African musicians rooted in Johannesburg’s freewheeling jazz scene. His tightest, the three-man the Comet Is Coming, brings the same spiritual profundity within a harder-rocking, more synth-saturated context.
The Sons’ April 4 show at Lincoln Hall is the quartet’s first local appearance since the release of last year’s, where the group whittles down West African and Caribbean dance rhythms into sharp points that needle their way into the folds of your brain. Hutchings’s pocket-size melodies are a constant, emerging straight from the grooves and remaining inseparable from them. Butcenters text far more than prior releases, which treated verse as largely peripheral to the music.
