Kamasi is THE bridge between classic jazz purists and a new generation--hungry for innovative, original jazz.

There's something raw about his music that makes me think of Mingus, high energy in your face!
@everythingsawesome 3 жыл бұрын
Nope. He's "a" bridge, not "THE" bridge. There are multiple bridges, connective tissues, voices, souls. Widen your radar and learn more who's out there. Also, he's not even the shit. David S. Ware and Pharoah Sanders and Yusef Lateef could outplay him in a second, and could out-explore him too.

Yes, I just don't understand how he's taking the whole genre "into the next level". Eric Dolphy, Alice and John Coltrane, Albert Ayler, Ornette Coleman, Pharoah Sanders, and Cecil Taylor did take it to another level, now kamasi washington? I just don't see how, that's all

I love the interview process during these sessions. It goes to show the majority of musicians are the shyest, softest spoken, most humble people alive. Even in their purest setting, they're no more than walking bags of anxiety like the rest of us. Yet again there is a Mac Demarco.

Love when you can tell a band ain't phoning it in, even for a radio station promo. Especially the keyboardist lol he's having a real blast! These guys are sick. I'm an old punk and jazz head and gotta say when i saw him play it was more lit than most punk shows i see nowadays. Surprisingly live crowd that night and they put on a hella ill show of course.

Been listening to Miles' own debut ,"Uprising", since last Friday when it came out. Same band. Although it's not actually a jazz album, not as much as Kamasi's "Epic" is, anyway, but more of a Stevie Wonder vein. It's still pretty good and he's a helluva singer also. Would like to see this band doing the Uprising songs full set live.
@robertbull5286 7 жыл бұрын
I listened to "Uprising" and liked it but wasn't all that enthused. I went to the album-release concert in LA and was blown away. If you get the opportunity, see Miles and co. live.
