In this episode of Newheads, Matt and Rav begin a new series by exploring the exploding modern jazz scene, and they start by highlighting the industry's hardest-working saxophone player: Shabaka Hutchings. As the main man in Sons of Kemet, The Comet is Coming, and Shabaka and the Ancestors, Hutchings shuns many long-held principles of the genre via blistering pace, intensity, and forward-thinking song progression and instrumentation. Plus, he plays a hell of a saxophone, making him the perfect bridge for hip-hop fans looking to access a genre that continues to push its boundaries.Podcast art: Pamela HerringIntro/outro music: Seth Greenberg
