Shabaka live

A rare chance to see a titan of the UK Jazz and wider international scene in a small venue.

Shabaka has just releaseed a spell-binding new album 'Of The Earth' . New experiments, a new live show plus a return to the Sax.

An entirely self-produced record of woodwinds, beat-making and his own rap verses.

The resulting 12 tracks are freewheeling and infectiously propulsive, ranging from the ethereal synth-textures to the lo-fi dance rhythms, menacing lyricism, Sax and enveloping flute layering.

Regarded as the trailblazer od the UK Jazz scene or explosion circa 2018/19, a multidisciplinarian, deep thinker, expressionist, Saxophone colossus, widely respected musician.

From the Comet is Coming, to Sons of Kemet. Shabaka & The Ancestors to performing live with The Sun-Ra Arkestra, Floating Points, Melt Yourself Down, Multatu Astake, Polar Bear and a far larger list of respected artists, this is his first Bristol solo appearance since 2024.

Shabaka will be appearing on stage with Sax, Flutes, Electronics, Percussion and a drummer flown in from the states especially for these two UK shows (the other one being the night before in London).

To support and set the tone, a selection of vinyl offerings and curiosities from digger, DJ, record shop owner and Worm Disco Club founder Nathan Worm.
