Sound engineers, your work does not go unappreciated.
shout out to u guys, indeed
@@batone7 I swear to God KEXP has the best sound engineers. Not a single live performance has disappointed me so far.
Idk how they balanced her vocals against the thundering horn section right next to her....
@@mrmagongus in eat monitors work wonders
late to the party but this is soo true, I clearly hear each individual note, everyone of the drum hits... on every KEXP show!!!
"How did you start music?"
"Basically, I was born one day."
HOLYYYYYY
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!
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.
Too limited
This is not about only Jazz, this is about Black Culture.
To be honest, Kamasi is the. dot.
Oh my god this bass player. Incredibly well done. How am I just discovering this? Oh yeah I spend all my time listening to metal and not enough time with Jazz. That’s about to change.
If you like the new age fusion stuff I would check out people like Thundercat, Shuhb Saran, Sungazer, Vulfpeck, and Yussef Dayes Trio just to name a few.
@@patrickmcmahon1110 ha! In the year since I posted this comment I basically went all the way down that rabbit hole of every one of those artists. They’re all incredible.
Kamasi is definitely reintroducing Jazz to a new generation.
...and to an old one too;-)
Tito Brozzi What next level? Everything he's doing has been done already...
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
Nor everybody dogmatic...listen to music everywhere I feel quality.... indie as well as jazz or classical stuff or prog rock or some chart songs....
Am not too deep into jazz, you certainly know better. Used to listen to jazzrock many years ago, Weather Report, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett and such. Every now and then some new stuff, recently discovered Donny McCaslin and his band - but admit, also by media;-)
Crazy performance.
Not sure if this would be a likely collab, but if Kamasi ever did a live show with BADBADNOTGOOD that shit would be straight up bonkers.
Damn, you just blew up my mind. Now I need to see that
0:26 Re Run
15:27 Rhythm changes
Organizer: "So what's the set list?" Kamasi: "Just one 40 minute song"
I want Kamasi Washington to score all Movies for all time.
Saw these guys last night in São Paulo, Brasil. It was something coming from another planet. I couldn't even process it, had to let it go and just get lost in the music. There's nothing better than that.
24 de Março ele vai tocar aqui em Curitiba. Estou ansioso pra o show, espero que esteja tão incrível quanto.
That's the idea behind music I guess. great for you!
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.
This ain't a radio station promo, this is KEXP.
Saw them last night in Detroit & They Totally Slayed It!
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.
The dominance displayed by Miles Mosley is legendary....the guy is a rock in a sea of modern jazz currents flowing across the stage!
This is insanely beautiful. Kamasi is a gem!
This would be freaking crazy to see live
In fing credible! Amazing work by all in this group. So glad I find them through Andre 3000 feature! Amazing.
Getting into Kamasi's music is like entering in a very, very dense space. It seems like every instrument creates a dense landscape by itself. Amazing performance and amazing songs.
This guys are going hard on the instruments
Literally almost every KEXP host seems like theyre on drugs hahahha
I don't trust anyone in radio or print journalism that doesn't drink heavily and probably indulge in some more interesting stuff.
@@SausageFingers420 I'm guessing you're a big Thompson fan then
Don’t you think all of the host have the exact look in there eye
thank you. this whole time im like wtf is with this guy LOL
Only the second comment. I'm vindicated.
literally brought me to tears
I saw them play in Italy last summer. What a blast, gotta love Kamasi
When? god,I live in Italy and I knew nothing
Ad agosto scorso sono venuti a suonare vicino a Padova :)
+theLatinloser ed io che sono andato fino a Vienna!!!
paolo tavi Kamasi suona questo 16 maggio a Milano al Santeria Social Club
went to play this in the background. It's impossible. Draws in all my attention.
Mind... Blown!
I'm so excited to hear this whole set
I Love it... Thank You Very Much for the Venue and Artists.... Beautiful experience
Thank you KEXP. Really awesome and inspiring to see and hear such great musicians play.
Re Run is pure beauty!!
Phenomenal! I cried it so good.
Saw them in Newcastle last month. Blew me away!
This is so amazing.
I can't believe this music. Feeling elevated. Incredible.
I can´t deal radio host´s face!!! Pure extasis. And Kamasi and the band, sooo good.
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen
NEED MORE LIKE THIS.
The Heir to Coltrain and Parker. All praise and Glory King.
saw these guys live this summer in Padua.
Still having a good time...
Oh god, Kamasi just save my life.
Superb musicians and engaging performance! Two thumbs up!
It is like returning the jazz era. That's awesome !
Wonderful performance. It stirs my imagination and lets my mind wander.
I had this studio host's same shirt when I was 3 in the early 90s.. Good to see that style is eternal!
Freaking awnsome! Great sax great composer and dreamer! Love Kamasi
The rythm changes is one of the most beautiful song i've ever heard, there's a sence of pure magic on it. Thank you Kamasi, you guys are amazing. Words can not describe it
so excited to see him this weekend in Austin
Its Amazing 🇧🇷 Que somzeira!!!
Been a minute since hearing such raw great music......brings me back to days of Doug and Jean Carn on Revelation.
oh my god this is amazing!
YESSS!
Larry is so epically awkward on camera and I love it
man the dude is such an awkward DJ it's cringe-worthy sometimes too lol
He seems so removed from the musicians so often. He's literally admitted to just reading off the sheets on camera. They need to use Djs that are at least reasonably interested in the musicians they are interviewing.
if you really think he wasn't interested in the musicians you get it wrong i guess. at least i always feel like he personally is curious about these artists he got on the show, the only thing might be that he doesn't feel so comfortable standing in front of a camera and i can totally understand that lol
In this he seems so super pumped that he's just trying to control his energy and get the words out.
larryyyy larryyyy larrryyyy
Jesus christ I can't wait to see them perform.
That's a 10. Loved these guys and I really like his respect for the other musicians. Some artists just remember to tell the other guys names in the end, like it was just an obligation.
wow...amazing group and compositions
Blown away all over again.
I went to his concert last week in São Paulo (Brasil). Amazing!!
I saw them this past weekend in Minneapolis. Holy smokes, they are great live!
I jam THIS recording through my system.
Love how the vocals are more pronounced, and the levels are all around great!
Got my tickets . Cant wait to see you in the UK.
Every time I watch this gaggle of geniuses play I just lose it. Shredding to the absolute most magnificent degree. Incredible.
ah! y'all posted this on my birthday, surely a sign of greatness :)
It has reminded me of my great time in New Orleans...
Kamasi Washington the father of a new genre on jazz signature. Taking it to another cosmic level.
Amazing performance and insightful interview questions… “The Rhythm Changes” my favorite , an empowering declaration of now, I’m here !
Kamasi, one of the greatest jazz musicians at this time.
Thanx to Kexp for the show!
Jumpbranch nah
@@tonywallens217 Ehm, yes. Very much
Rhythm Changes makes feel so god damn good
Really dug the interview! Good job! Obviously the music is fantastic
Can't wait to see them in Saint Louis.
would've killed to be in the gallery that day!! WOW.
They all look like their having a blast except the bass player. He has this 1000 yard stare going on at the end there. Love these guys, the songs sound so different every time I hear them.
Wicked bassist though. I saw these guys last year and he killed it. They played one of his songs, 'Abraham', and he was having a whale of a time. Find a video of them performing 'Abraham' and tell me he isn't enjoying himself.
Also he looks like Drake which is pretty funny.
Linus Martin yeah, Miles Mosley
Seems like they always do these KEXP shows early in the morning. I look like that too early in the morning.
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.
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.
What a moment!
Love it!
This is crazy good.
Wonderful!
they are so good. just saw them in detroit. miles mosley super magical :0
KW n Team always blows me away
First discovered Kumasi via Kendrick Lamar...just love his vibe...thanks KEXP‼🎶
Outstanding!
amazing!
This guy... the new King of Jazz as far as I'm concerned. Can't get enough of it!
This and several other sessions should be released on a nice CD set.. Hopefully it wil happen some day. Amazing stuff.
Briliaaant! Greatings from brazil s2
Excellent!
pure musical beauty
more than beautiful
Very nice. Thanks.
Amazing music, wish the interview was as good.
this sounds so much different than their album release party, especially the rhythm changes. i love both, this one a bit more though. that bass line just rips through and carries an atmosphere
great Kamasi!
So dope!
I love The Epic. Every time I see the band play live the have a new arrangement for a lot of the tunes - I wonder when they get the time to work them out? Freakin' awesomely talented line up.
Oh yeah! superb!
Obsessed!
neat filming, great music.
that trombone is beautiful!
So sick!!!!
AMAZING!!!!!!!! 😍🔝🇲🇽
Just great!!!!
I love youuuuu Kamasi
Please come to Thailand
Saw Kamasi in London before Kendrick Lamar and was blown away, so good
ˇOhh wow this so amazing!!!!
There's two kinds of important artists: originators and consolidators. Originators invent something new. Consolidators take the new things of their era, combine them with one another and the tradition, and help define a new mainstream. Kamasi may not be an originator - everything he does has been done before - but he is one hell of a consolidator. Just for starters, he's infusing funk and hip-hop into mainstream and modal jazz, doing it in a way faithful to all of them, and doing it in a way that reaches people.
Judging from a recent concert I gotta say he is indeed an originator, too, in the sense of bringing different melodies to the top at the same time full volume and creating an almost atonal climax where you'd think it has to fall apart, but it does not and creates a new journey that could go on forever. Hard to put that into words, you have to see and feel it. None of the videos here can transfer that live atmosphere I felt a few days ago.
dustinzk is there a recording of that concert? i'd like to hear what you're talking about
@@GrumpyStormtrooper unfortunately I am one of these old school guys who is just listening and sucking in the moment, so, no recording from my side
interesting thought but there is no difference between originating and consolidating. consolidating & combining into a new composite IS originality. all originality, especially in the musical sense, is a unique composite of everything that came before it. originality doesn’t exist in a vacuum
@@HaleG9 what you just said abolutely sums jazz up. Absolute nonsense no one can agree with lol
