This week's post is a live set by Kamasi Washington, one of my favourite modern jazz musicians. I've been listening to his music since first hearing his incredible album, The Epic, in 2015. He's a powerful dynamic musician with a wide range of styles who reminds me of another great saxophonist, the late Pharoah Sanders.
This concert was recorded at the City Winery in Atlanta, GA on April 30th. The video appears to have been shot from a tripod on the front of the stage and the sound quality is very good; it's either a board feed or a closely-miked audience recording, but it's quite listenable. The performance, needless to say, is epic.
If you like this, here's another performance from his current tour:
