Shabaka Plays His Favorite Vinyl Records | Discogs Listening Room @ FORM 2024

"If you're a vocalist, it's assumed that you're not a musician. Musicians are the people that position notes in space, and vocalists are the people that give you sentimental gestures," says Shabaka Hutchings‬ from the Discogs Listening Room at FORM 2024. But that's not always the case. "If you don't listen to what they're saying, it's beneficial," says Shabaka. "These vocalists are musicians, and we've gotta take what they're doing seriously." This giant shift in listening has shaped the life of Shabaka, jazz musician, composer, and the former leader of the British jazz band Sons of Kemet. These are the albums Shabaka chose to play in the Discogs Listening Room: Madvillain 'Madvillainy': https://www.discogs.com/release/32459088-Madvillain-Madvillainy Wu-Tang Clan 'Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)': https://www.discogs.com/release/30100481-Wu-Tang-Clan-Enter-The-Wu-Tang-36-Chambers A Tribe Called Quest 'The Low End Theory': https://www.discogs.com/release/31003318-A-Tribe-Called-Quest-The-Low-End-Theory Burial 'Untrue': https://www.discogs.com/release/32525832-Burial-Untrue Nas 'Illmatic' (Live From The Kennedy Center): https://www.discogs.com/release/11895964-Nas-With-National-Symphony-Orchestra-Illmatic-Live-From-The-Kennedy-Center Arthur Russell 'First Thought Best Thought': https://www.discogs.com/release/718094-Arthur-Russell-First-Thought-Best-Thought Shabaka on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/artist/1419450-Shabaka-Hutchings For this edition of the Discogs Listening Room, the Technics SL-1210GR2 turntable was used. -- Unlock the ultimate record collecting experience: https://www.discogs.com/about/get-started/ SUBSCRIBE: youtube.com/discogs Check us on Social @Discogs: Follow Discogs on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/discogs Follow Discogs on X: https://twitter.com/discogs Follow Discogs on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/discogs Follow Discogs on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@discogs Follow Discogs on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/discogsofficial.bsky.social Thanks for watching! #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcollection
