@@NgPeezy hi NgPeezy :D not sure who you are, but hello :D
It's like his saxophone is screaming, so fucking intense!
Lucas Mota obviously, his perfect color is OH MY GOD Bitch!!!!
Joan Saag Mom, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED??!
+Lucas Mota better check his pockets for the powers that b!
this is the sound of axel rose in a blender and Slash on satans fenders.
MC Ride is in the choir vocals
multiphonics
What comes from the spirit reaches the spirit.....
Say that again! Those who understand, innerstand!!!
Well said brotha
amen
well said
This is one of the greatest things I've ever heard in my life. I cannot fathom that a human actually came up with this.
Which species could have been responsible, if not human?
@@miguelbranquinho7235 who said it had to be a species?
@@DonnyZofChaos What else lives, if not a species?
@@miguelbranquinho7235 again, you're assuming the only possible candidate has to be a species. You're trying to be a nitpicking ned and failing miserably. Please stop
@@DonnyZofChaos Stop what? What are you raving about? The only species that make music, that we know of, are humans. I asked what others do you know that could have done the same. Of course it has to be a living species, because inorganic matter doesn't really do much, now does it? It's either a living thing, or it's not. You said you cannot fathom how a human could have written something like this. And I told you there are no other candidates for the task.
After listening to this album, I felt as though I just finished reading a really really good novel! This man could single-handedly change the face of jazz music!
This song sounds like a beautiful prayer to me...a “cry out to God” prayer. The way it builds up is absolutely amazing. I always lose it at 7:37 🙌🏽.
This album is so ambitious and mesmerizing, to compile nearly three hours of music into a triple album for his debut? While Robert Glaspers Black Radio pushed jazz further, Kamasi has shoved it over the hill? Had the honor of watching him at the blue note and briefly meeting him after. One of the greatest living musicians and this is ONLY album one
Keeping Black music alive
well said lv 1.... that point cant b argued..
WOW!!!! I can see Myles, Thelonious, and Charlie (Bird) Parker in heaven bumping and high-fiving to this!!!!! This is how Jazz was meant to sound!!!! More than impressive Mr. Kamasi... more than impressive! Well played sir... VERY well played!
I would add Sun Ra, Paharaoh Sanders, even Joshua Redman to the list
do. not. sleep. on. the. alice. coltrane. up. in. here. hear?
OK... I feel ya
Just when you thought Jazz was dead...
& Coltrane as well
At 4:33 ... I know that the purpose of this song is totally different from what I feel at this very moment, I know that the meaning for "love" that this song tries to express serves to another meaning, but, I have to say, I am surrended, no matter how much weight to take life forward force me to give up, in this small moment that I quoted, I gain breath, and I realize that I need to continue, why? Why ... it's like this, this is LIFE, this is living, in that small moment, I realize that I reach a limit, then I stop, I gain breath and I see that I have the strength to continue facing whatever challenge is ahead, a breath that I was waiting and gives me POWER to keep gowing and not give up, this is something that only music, that little moment in time like this can provide me, I cant express this feeling literally, I can only tell you that this is powerfull enough to keep me STRONG, and makes me LUCID, AWAKENED, and ALERT to the LIFE, this forces me to understand that the best of EVERYTHING is yet to come.
People, there is no formula, there is no secret or recipe to be full and complete, just look at yourselves and understand that EVERYTHING you ALL need is already there with you, just listen to yourself and you will be well. "Askim" for LIFE. Greetings from a friend from somewhere.
magnificent
.
Thank You
Be blessed
We are God.
This is reminiscent of early 1970's Pharoah Sanders with Lonnie Listen Smith, Joe Bonner, et. al. I especially like the background voices. Nicely done.
+Stanley Pollack I was thinking exactly the same here !
Yes, a background chorus, but know that he studied ethnomusicology. It makes a difference.
This is love, pure love.
yes. a love song. as in the participants love the music enough not to half-step at all; to give it...alll
this song is intensely beautiful. ive listened to it like five times in the past two days
Stephen Bruner - wow, amazing bassist. Reminds me of Wes Montgomery a little bit, though he was a guitarist. Every musician in these songs have been amazing. This music is amazing and IT'S NEW, as a huge fan of Coltrane, Sanders, Brotzmann, Sun Ra, and any and all avante garde jazz musicians, it makes me so so so happy to know that someone is carrying on this music and mindset in such a well done way. I have a new favorite Jazz Musician.
askim means in turkish my love
Best jazz I heard in quite a while!
Thank god for you Kamasi.
Excellent work from this young talent - jazz is not meant to be background music, it's meant to uplift and inspire, and this
album does just that! A great vision brought to fruition in this "Epic" new recording. Glad it's on vinyl - will be my next purchase. Big thumbs up!
+Chris Velour you will not be disappointed with the vinyl. It plays a bit quiet but it's worth it to have such an immense album like this in such a nice package.
+Chris Velour In my humble opinion, its best on its own but it worked really well on Kendrick Lamars To Pimp A Butterfly, with screaming sax solos and electric bass solos from Thundercat playing behind kendricks rap
This almost brings tears to my eyes. Absolutely beautiful.
One of The Best Songs I've heard in Years!!! (Wow)
#Epic4Sure
Thundercat for the win.
I thought that might be him but I was close to looking up which modern jazz guitar player was ripping this a new one!
caught kamasi in northampton, ma back in late august. one of the best shows i have ever seen. this was among the songs played that evening.
Absolute genius, this sends shivers down my spine. I've been so sad that all my favorite musicians have passed away before I was born. I must meet this man!
Was amazed by the bass. Went to google who Stepehen Bruner was. I should´ve knowm... Damn kid is too good.
This song makes me want to cry
One of the most powerful pieces of music I've heard in years. WOW!!!!!! For pure intensity, there's nothing like it. Epic indeed!
This brings me so much joy that y'all feel the same way. This truly touched our souls! I think everyone would want to hear this as they transcend to the next realm.
Amen Kamasi
This song and a few others makes me suspect that I should spend loads of more time hanging around jazz. The choir is like the background sound of the universe. A top-100 song on my chart
I've only been listening to jazz since 2019 and I'm 50. I feel like I still have alot of catching up to do.
My goodness, the raw emotion that builds up in this song is nothing short of amazing!
Just started listening to the album a week ago, and, so far, this is my favorite track. Utterly fantastic.
Man, one of greatest finds since the Pyramids! Beau
one of my favs off this album
This is beautiful. Calmed me right down !
This is some of the greatest jazz I've heard in a while; every few minutes is an explosion of flavor!
Askim means my love ❤️in turkish 🇹🇷
Take me on a ride Mr. Washington. This is timeless!
It's so Beautiful listing to great music ❤️ this song.
This Song Got Me Everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!😜😜😜😜😜😜i love this omg!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Askim" tru da muzic. Spiritual Ascension. Beyond Star Treck Jazz. Thanks KamaSee & Hear!
Oh God yes. And there's three hours of this guy that just came out? Yay.
Beautiful Music ❣️ it .
THE WAY KAMASI STARTED HIS SOLO WAS SO SWEET
YES.
Music for the Mind, Body and Soul.
Stephen mutha fuckin Bruner, everybody! Woo!
Scorching. I cannot stop listening to this music!
OH SHIT. YES.
il nuovo Charles Mingus? e' stratosferico quest artista......IMMENSO
Listening to this was the perfect way to start my rainy, warm, spring Friday morning! Thank you Kamasi and Brainfeeder!
ASKIMSIN 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
YES!
To the bassist who played the solo: you look fine in your durag
Pharoah-like screeching... Good.
the drums in this song tickle my soul
Just saw you are coming to Detroit to the Michigan Theater. On that day, I have a GIG myself. But I just engulfed my EARS in your glorious sound. SO I thank you for blessing us with this classic sound ! ! !
parts of this remind me of some mahavishnu orchestra tunes
beyond beautiful
Is Thundercat playing a specific scale?
This whole album is awesome! Is it me, or does this song sound kinda reminiscent of "Like Sonny" by John Coltrane? I know they're two completely different songs, but it sounds like both songs have similar tensions and resolutions throughout. Try humming or playing the melody of Like Sonny along with one of the solos and you can really hear it. Just though it was kinda cool since Kamasi seems to be heavily influenced by Trane...
This whole LP is so brilliant! I love it... Wow
Awesome. I love when creativity and music combine !!!
Fun Fact:Askim means "my love" in turkish I know why Kamasi came up with the name reply if you want to know why.
+Frozen KnightX5 Why?
+Frozen KnightX5 this is a tune Kamasi wrote about 7 or 8 years ago (at least) at the time he was dating a Turkish girl and he visited Turkey several times during that period. I think that's how he got the idea. :)
olajide paris correct my brotha
That's dope!!
@@olajideparis he actually played it at Beykoz Kundura Fabrikasi in Istanbul,Turkey after he released the album and his pops came on stage jammed with him everybody was screaming askimmm in the crowd it was litttttttttttttttttt
One of L.A’s great young musicians! Hopefully this Covid-19 B.S will subside and we can get back to our live musical concerts!
Kamasi Washington music reminds of the Psycadelic R&B/Soul Music produced by the great Charles Stepney for Rotary Connection, Ramsey Lewis, Minnie Riperton & EW&F.......
whoa, it means my lover in turkish languange, a sensual piece, bravo!
Usually I don't like jazz guitar to sound this ummm, "creamy: sensually creamy", but it works well with the tin of the brass real well here
Andrew Nelson thats because its bass, check the live version of this on npr
that's labelmate Thundercat (steven bruner in the credits). if you liked his playing DEF check out his albums. so lush
his sax sounds like a squealing pig i love it so much
My buddy put me up on this song bless Rick he always put me on the great music 💯
It's hard to put into words the emotions this song makes well up in you. So I'll leave it at that.
Wow, didn't realize this was current not 70's - That's a complement!
Thank you for this amazing soulful love song! Greetings from Turkey!😊
The title is like 'Aşkım' which means 'my love' in Turkish.
brilliant song
no way. I HAVE to listen to all 12:34 AGAIN! How could i NOT?
Damn. I slept. Granted I didn’t really get into jazz heavy till like few years ago
askim means MY LOVE in turkish...
some alice coltrane type shit heeyah!!! blessing
Fun fact Alice Coltrane is Flying Lotus's grand-aunt!!
This is love
blahblahblah "avant-garde" blahblahblah "revolutionary" blahblahblah "spititual" blahblahblah - name drop MonkBirdMilesOrnetteColtrane here shutthefuckupandlisten good jazz

There is absolutely nothing that can top this .... I love this!!!!!
There’s still nothing even a year later
ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ
ariel ulloa EARGASM AND GOOSEBUMP
What time signature is this??
Cole Bronson good question lol
Cole Bronson Its hard to say do to the free jazz nature of the drumming. However, as a drummer myself, I happened to notice that as a tap my foot to tempo most of his snare accents land on the downbeat and it seems as thought quarter notes receive "one beat". This leads me to believe that its something like 12/4. Its been a long while since I have had any type of musical theory, but I have heard Jazz that has seemed to be much harder to play along to. This stuff rocks.
Andrew Harrington Well scratch that. Time signature definitely seems to shift. This odd time for sure. Tying my brain in knots.
Cole Bronson It's subdivisions of 6/8 or 4/4, but the a section of the melody is phrased so it feels like 5+3 in the grouping of 8/4.
Holy shit man haha. Thanks!
Great Stuff!
1:57 that bass!
..may the butterflies wash your sôuL, and kiss your nose.. And the sun, may the sun gentLy warm your heart. And your belly, may it bee filled with pure purple light. AQUA AURA… AQUA AURA… sweet JADE SYMPHONIES.. a hug from a smoky quaRTZ mountain.. CARNELIAN SOUP .. sip by sip . . . this ones 4 the starzZz . . . o Ô ^ * * * * * * * * *
I really like it until he starts blowing on the saxophone and making noise. But that's just like 5% of this, otherwise this is really good!
“Making noise” 🙄 omg please sit down somewhere with that foolishness
Is this in 4/4, or is it one bar of 4, one bar of 6, and then another bar of 6?
your info just gave me insight ... blessings to u
That outro though! WOW!
mUY BUENO pero que triste que la publicidad te queme el espíritu que la musica te da...
outstanding
tears
omg
kamasi and his band's use of drum and guitsr, it is so genius, so beautiful and so well used.
Never really listened to jazz, but this Kamasi fella's sounds are good.
good.
ah man i love his compositions the atmosphere and vibe is so pure love you man
It builds up and never backs down.
