London saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings is a true metamusician of the new millennium, seamlessly fitting into countless bands and projects. In all of them his fiery yet soulful jazz improvising shines no matter the context. His funky Sons Of Kemet bridges the gap between the Caribbean and New Orleans on “My Queen Is Harriet Tubman,” while his group the Ancestors melds soul, post-bop, and South African influences on the hypnotic “Mzwandile.” He fits just as naturally alongside Ethiopian legend Mulatu Astatke on the hypnotic “Esketa Dance” as he does jamming over the blown-out techno of Hieroglyphic Being on “Calling the Loas.”
