The April 2024 issue of Jazzwise is out now with UK jazz giant Shabaka Hutchings on the cover and inside discussing his new album ‘Perceive its Beauty, Acknowledge its Grace’ that features a whole universe of flute sounds and all-star guest performances. 
 
Also in the issue is our Mega 2024 UK and Europe Jazz Fest Guide – your essential look at all of this year’s best jazz festivals across the UK and Continent; there’s also a celebration of the life and music of Sarah Vaughan on the centenary of her birth; a fascinating deep dive into the ultra-hip sounds of 1950s West Coast US jazz.
