We Out Here

Shabaka Hutchings was musical director and the sessions were recorded over three days; the Vinyl Factory lists nine tracks: Maisha's "Inside the Acorn", Ezra Collective's "Pure Shade", Moses Boyd's "The Balance", Theon Cross's "Brockley", Nubya Garcia's "Once", Hutchings's "Black Skin, Black Masks", Triforce's "Walls", Joe Armon-Jones's "Go See", and Kokoroko's "Abusey Junction", which closes it. The studio is not named in the sources we read. It became a defining document of the London jazz scene and gave its name to Gilles Peterson's We Out Here festival, founded in 2019.
