“The thing with the flute is that it’s cathartic…When it comes to actually using a part of the natural environment to amplify the sound you’re hearing in your head, the flute’s the oldest instrument that they found,” Shabaka Hutchings told The Guardian newspaper in June 2024. A year earlier, Hutchings had announced that he was putting down the saxophone to focus solely on the flute, leading him to master the shakuhachi, the ancient Japanese end-blown flute used on his album Perceive its beauty, Acknowledge its Grace, alongside a variety of other instruments from the flute family.
