Great read. I saw Kamasi around the release of that album and was shocked at how far back his relationships with band mates went. A bunch of childhood friends still motivated by the same goal. Pretty awesome.
Listening now... "Final Thought" gonna be a good day at work thanks to your push. Brings me back and forward like only jazz can. Check out my The Day I Played All Blues with Albert Dailey post. I digitized his lost album "Renaissance" at the end by this jazz piano visionary who left us too young. KW takes this bend in the road a bit farther up the road. The vocals reminded me of this. Diving deeply into my new Bitches Brew 2 LPs too thanks to you. New ways to listen to old things. Joy only music can bring. https://open.substack.com/pub/stevegabe/p/the-day-i-played-all-blues-w-albert?r=14weym&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
I love Kamasi, he had such a big personal influence on some of my current favorite artists it is actually insane.
He’s so great. Thanks for reading!
