Final Thought
LA’s jazzmaster Kamasi Washington is not messing around on his big band 3xLP release The Epic. It is what it says it is. Epic.
Someone’s got to swing for the fences, and Washington delivers a powerful pop. The list of musicians reads longer than the effects teams for major Hollywood pictures. If you want a full survey of where West Coast jazz was in 2015, with plenty of hat tips to tradition, sign yourself up.
Our highlighted track “Final Thought” is a hard-charging saxophone burner with some sweet keys on the front end. It’s also the shortest track on the album(s) at 6:31. Dip your toes, get acclimated, then dive in for the full 3xLP experience at your leisure.
