Kamasi Washington reminds me so much of my 2nd cousin, who is a jazz saxophonist by the name of Pharaoh Sanders. They have a similar sound. I bet Pharaoh Sanders had an influence on Kamasi. Their music sound so similar.
pharaoh is a legend. his music is a blessing.
STILL A MONSTER OF JAZZ...
Your cousin is a groovy-ass dude! Big fan of his!
He's gone but he will never be forgotten. Bless
Oh yeah, Pharoah Sanders, you know? The best jazz musician ever? Dude, you're cousin was an absolute legend.
I'm still collecting pieces of my brain that flew all over the room
+Lucas Mota meme?
Picnicolas Brother, is that you?
+Lucas Mota you died? ._. ='C.................
+Lucas Mota :D
No Grammy nomination.. you gotta be freaking kidding me.
+Jeffrey Lien Grammys sucks, it's just the industry jerking off itself, zero interest in real musical apreciation
+Jeffrey Lien
Same thing happening in music as in politics itself since 1989: Money is more important than the people. We have to restore democracy. Please support Bernie Sanders 2016.
+Jeffrey Lien How does this surprise you? In 2013 the nominations for best album are almost laughable.
+Trevor Solis It doesn't
+Jeffrey Lien
smh and Redman gets one and Kamasi doesnt
Finally a new breed of young musicians being allowed to push the creative envolpe of Jazz forward without corporate radio interference and commercial formula air play expectations.
This song best describes life and all the multifaceted aspects of it. The good and bad, the morose pitfalls to the triumphant victories. The peaks and valleys, its a never-ending dance, a musical explosion. It replicates the Big Bang Theory but this universe was made my Kamasi Washington.
Have you listened to your local college/public radio lately? Chi town public radio does not shy away from new Jazz. Standards are standards for a reason though to be fair.
@@ChiBriE30 Haven’t really listened to the Chi town station. What are the call letters.
@@ShangoDC WDCB is an excellent one. They have several Jazz shows from standards to Acid Jazz and everything in between. Fantastic chicagoland Jazz station. It is publicly funded and affiliated with a community College in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, College of Dupage.
Everytime I hear the part from 7:36-7:48, I imagine an angry man thrashing around his apartment, slamming his fists against the wall until his hands are bleeding, after finishing an entire bottle of Jim Beam, full of depression and anger, mad against the world, screaming at the top of his lungs.
That part in the song always makes the hair on my neck crawl
I am wanted for wartime atrocities in Armenia for my participation in the Armenian genocide.
@@richtofen4888 Go to the authorities and tell them that, they'll be glad to hear it.
@@richtofen4888 that seems like an overblown response
You're tearing me apart Lisa!
The last time i remember getting this crazy was Charles Mingus - Moanin . This was just amazing , instantly a favourite .
+Asheru Assiene Was just thinking about Mingus as well!!! Cheers!
+Asheru Assiene holy shit SAME !!!
I have yet to explore Charles Mingus! That's why music will never get old...ever!
+Vernell Thomas all of the Mingus essential band is good personally my favourite is moanin and good bye pork pie hat
+Alex Collett Sinfield Of the 12 or so Mingus albums I have, gotta say Ah Um is my favorite. But this Kamasi Washington is KICKIN'
a little 'return to forever' tinged with 'a love supreme', beautiful. coltrane and modern fusion. no wonder kendrick sounded so good.
I was so happy to hear this on Atlanta. Amazing song used for an amazing show.
what episode
Mixtape Mania Juneteenth
First time listening to this guy. Definetly sets the tone for the album, and sounds godlike at times. No wonder it's called the EPIC. Looks like i may be in for a treat!
I think this is one of the recent examples of music that can bring enjoyment of jazz to more people.
Seriously? Thumbs down? WhoTF would do that? THIS. IS. PHENOMENAL.
7:36 Ngl this made me tear up. Incredible playing, you can feel so much emotion put into these notes
He is A VERY strong musician. There's *POWER* in this 💪🏿✊🏿👌🏿💯❤️
2015 has been a standout year for music and here is the most ambitious of them all:
#KamasiWashington's #TheEpic encompasses the entire history of jazz (as well as covering Debussy's Clair de Lune) and is vast in its scope and length (almost 3 hours)--it is a landmark album the likes of which we have not seen since the heyday of John Coltrane and Miles Davis in the late '60s. The Epic captures the spirit of our times.
10-person band (Kamasi the bandleader on saxophone, two bassists, two drummers, two keyboardists, trumpeter, trombonist, and pianist), a 32-person orchestra, and a 20-person choir.
Kendrick Lamar's to pimp a butterfly
This artist must be heard! Coltrane, Parker, Dolphy, Webster, Garett and now comes Kamasi Washington!!! Bravo.
Never heard strings fit so well into a jazz piece; amazing. Love the piano solo!
Ayin Villagra There is an old version of Black Coffee that starts with a haunting cello... I'll see if I can find it for you.
Thanks's! I'd appreciate that.
+Chorifly Also listen Bill Evans with Symphony Orchestra .. it's brilliant
I think you might also love the album 'Brubeck Plays Bernstein Plays Brubeck' from 1960, it's pure awesomeness!
2020 we stand at the end of an era...
Going to see this guy in Dublin tonight :) man I can't wait
Recently got into Mr Washington and managed to snag a couple tickets to go see him in the Olympia in March. Can't wait for this. You going to see him again 67 mark?
Could see Pete Rock sampling this. A jazz classic right here.
Spot the King Crimson fan.....quite rightly and no surprise there. Lashings of progressive sensibilities here.
8:33 is the coltrane money note right there
Was thinking the same. A lot of people are throwing around the Pharaoh Williams influence, but i've always heard a lot of Coltrane in his tone/style.
delicious rage, love it.
@@MichaelCasanovaMusic Who is Pharaoh Williams? or you mean Pharoah Sanders?
Heard this song...while coming from Virginia Beach about 3 weeks ago..just got the end of it. Wow!!! Very different and love how the solos improvised, beyond the regular scope of a solo! Incredible and with the back round singing....wow.
Holy crap, so much to explore and listen to.
This is so beautiful! Takes me back to Pharoah and forward to the synthesis of all that is right and holy at the same time. Thank you Kamasi and Brainfeedmedia.
Exactly
First 2 minutes and already I can say it's definitely my style
Imagine Miles Davis proud! Music moving forward!
Still one of all time fave albums..and so far the most recent in my Top 100 all time favourites (No compilations).
Where do you go from here Mr Washington!?!?! Hope you've not peaked too early?!!
Wonderful compositions, wonderful band, just wonderful!!!!
He is still going :D
THIS is jazz!!!!
The most fascinating new music in a long time. Genius!
Breathtakingly beautiful!!!!!
Great band, great composition, great arrangement the new masters are in the house there is no praise high enough
Deserved awards for this great job.
Blew me away COMPLETELY!!!! What a gift to this world. Thank you for posting Brainfeeder!! And thanks to Gilles P for the radio paly also. Changng of guard is right
Love this album so much
Making me fall in love with jazz again
Absolutely beautiful. Not sure what took me so long to get around to this record, but now I must have it!
That sung harmony in the background has me digging out my "What's Goin' On" LP....
This is amazing. So well done
Is it me or does it sound like the coolest backing track to a video game ever
+Alex Collett Sinfield Play some gunpoint, get some sick jazz vibes. Different to this, but I also see what you mean.
It kinda sounds like a lower key version of Hajime no Ippo music
+Alex Collett Sinfield Tbh It's fine on it's own
L.A Noire maybe?
Sorry but it think the video game would become the background to this song.
How can a single song be so good???
The melody sounds like John Coltrane's Impressions. Just in a different key! Change of the Guard: Coltrane to Washington. Genius.
This will go down as a classic!!!!!!
looking forward to the concert😊
Although practice and research goes into playing, it's Kanasi's product. To put him into a comparison and genre is not the only truth. It's good, that's all that matters. Listen with an open heart....
awesome he's a genius saw him on the GQ channel today looked him I needed to hear more takes me back to Miles and Coltrane
dark souls jazz
he should get the grammy..this is in a long time a msterpiece in jazz music,,the last master piece i know was bitches brew ,miles davis
Plenty of Jazz materpeices, Fela Kuti, Louis Armstrong etc all have incredible albums
Truth
Infinite Peace love joy and gratitude
Still my fave piece of the 21st century.
Stunning..... buying!!!!
Man. Like the title suggests on this album. Absolutely.
I was trippin hard on 4 drops when I first heard this. Life changing haha. Keep coming back to it. The cat. Kamasi . Fuck man, so epic. I love the vocals in this. And that sound kamasi does that makes it sound like he’s really strangling that sax. What a phenomenon. Peace and love big K and all you peeps reading this, from tha land down unda!
Fantastic!
faith in humanity restored
HUMANITY RESTORED
Finally!!! Some real music!
My favorite on the album. Epic
That's mindblowing...eargasms!
This is one intense tune.
Wish they played you on my local radio, and I wikl be requesting this.
I'm so glad I decided to look him up after hearing him on a Thundercat song. I have to buy this amazing album!
This is one my favs. powerful. perfect piece. Black Renaissance vibes
This song haunts me like I imagine a recovering heroin addict feels 10 years sober...the trauma of its beauty leaves this song on my brain for Weeks after I listen to it. I keep coming back for that mental burn and I’ll keep coming back because I can handle my addictions...I’m not an addict really...just a casual user. I don’t have a problem. I’ll be ok...probably...
Jesus, that sax solo is so doooooope!!!
brainfeeder - you feed that damn brain well - much appreciated and respect due... :-)
there were moments when i thought my woman (in the next room) should turn the volume of the tv a bit down - well, of course it´s all in this music here - i´m fascinated!
cheers from germany
This is pure MAGICK !!!
Now this is awesome......
Beautiful. Thankhz so much for sharing Brother Kamasi. Wholeness n Essence of Love ((-;
I so dig this man!
beauty to my ears...
Nice, lush rich sound... sweet!!
Great music!
Great music
That solo at 2:26 man 👏🏼👏🏼😭
Right..the progression of the strings doesnt work but does...a beautiful tension building clash with smooth angellic voices layered over the top..bass man runnin a muck..this album is off the wall
Trane, Albert Ayler, Pharoah Sanders,. Archie Shepp, Alice Coltrane. Same as it ever was.
Ken Mac I am reading these comments from the jazz lover's and I am so envious...I'm a newbee to the jazz scene I mean I attend the annual Atlanta jazz festival but this guy and the comments might just turn me into a lover also thanks for the other names
Don Cherry, Sonny Rollins and Rashaan Roland Kirk just to add a few more for you.
This is Next Level....
so good!
Mind blown!
Anthony Fantano sent me here :D
Same
You should be glad you got here
Willekille I am
Amazing!!!
i had to read the rolling stone mag, to find this genius wow,
^^ same :)
+Luna Rivera +William Snow Shame that there aren't better ways for music like this to come to light but they say that diamonds have to be dug out of obscurity
+Will McKenzie sad, but true :/
Cerebral sounds...Salute.
This cat is on a whole different spiritual plane and I'm diggin' it all the way
I can't find my mind. its been blown.
0:25 IT'S THE LICK!
Dave Fucking Grohl No escape.
Dave Fucking Grohl Not quite
It's close enough to be noticeable. The lick can have variations.
Classic!
this some shit to listen to at 1 am and let your mind float around the galaxy
wow....what interesting music!!!
That was
Epic
I want to play this in my Jazz Band.
+Kinaru Sheinto A Highschool jazz band would not serve this justice
+kewlkey Fender Music is about fun and not about serving a special justice
+kewlkey Fender I disagree with you wholeheartedly. Great musicians often are great as children/teens as well. I know musicians personally, that as youth were technically proficient enough to not only play music like this, but create it and score it for bands/ensembles as well.
I should explain myself more. I am a teen who plays alto and tenor saxophone a jazz-band. You are right that there are many children and teens who are technically proficient enough to play music like this, however in my experience the majority of teens lack the ability to play a piece like this as an ensemble. Again I could be wrong as I am going purely off of anecdotal evidence.
+kewlkey Fender you are right
coltrane reborn huh
Croix - Give him a little time - he's a great player/composer but seems a little early to proclaim trane's rebirth...
chiiiiiillllll man
let him be his own artist. Allow legends to remain legends.
Karl Young ah, it was just a throwaway comment. i agree with you, just that the influence is really strongly there (in a good way)
amazing
Amazing...
Great stuff, hot lick
This whole epic, with that image.
Epic indeed.
Atlanta bring me here!
makes me think of the dogfights in cowboy bebop
lol
Cowboy Bebop is still one of my favorite anime joints!
You sir, are a man of culture.
You said it man!!!
When I first heard aboout this album I was in doubt this could keep my attention for very long because of its rediculous length. I was wrong, I even the have the feeling the record could be twice as long and I would still not get tired of it.
the section starting at 0:27 reminds me a lot of the original Star Trek theme; it certainly captures the same sense of eerie wonder.
Brilliant Been waiting for this
Atlanta is the plug for this piff !!!!!!!!!!!!!
awesome !
Gabriela Caldas Indeed ;)
+Milad Khosseini What a fucking loser
