Shabaka Hutchings presents: 3 Bands 1 Day
Filmed at UK festival A Love Supreme, this short film follows Shabaka Hutchings at his best: pushing live, open-ended jazz into new territories.
For anyone familiar with Shabaka Hutchings, the idea behind this new short film should come as no surprise. Documenting three consecutive shows he played during one day at this year’s A Love Supreme, it’s a typical day’s work for the influential saxophone player and bandleader. Following him as he reflects on the thriving UK jazz scene and figures out makeshift instrument repairs in-between sets, we see him play with the three main bands he’s currently involved with: Shabaka and the Ancestors, Sons of Kemet and The Comet Is Coming.
