The Comet Is Coming Cancel Farewell Show In Support Of Palestine

The adventurous London jazz trio the Comet Is Coming have been around for a decade, and they released Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam, their third album, last year. In May, the group announced plans to break up: “We will return when the stars align and the planet needs us.” Bandleader Shabaka Hutchings says that he’s “taking a hiatus” from the saxophone, his instrument, after this year. The Comet Is Coming were planning to play one more show tonight at the Bratislava Jazz Days festival in Slovakia. They have now cancelled that show as a gesture of support for Palestine.
