Barbican Sessions: Shabaka Hutchings

[@eamonnbeahan5611]

Love how percussive the instrument sounds here, especially at the end of the piece. I wonder how much of that comes from how closely the clarinet is mic'd? I'm reminded of the minimalist progressions of Steve Reich, and strangely of indigenous Australian didgeroo music in the vocalisations over droning that occur around 2:40. Fantastic

[@SeanMcCarthyMusic251]

definitely the mics picking up lots of keys clicking. If you like this you should check out Colin Stetson for sure, similar vibe but pushed to the extreme.

Really cool interview with him today on Bbc6music!! The flute playing was really good!

Barbican thanks so much for putting this series up. It has lifted my spirits through this cold and difficult times.

That's really lovely to hear, Ian. We're glad we can help - it's one of our favourite series too!

That was amazing Shabaka, It reminded me of Harry Carney in sophisticated lady with a mix of Tosin Abasi. You to me are an enlightened player and I am so happy to have heard you play. Much love from Louisville, Kentucky
