Kamasi Washington on Street Fighter II, South Los Angeles, and Touring with Snoop Dogg
Saxophonist Kamasi Washington is one of the most talented jazz musicians around. He’s collaborated with Thundercat, Ryan Adams, Flying Lotus, Run the Jewels - that’s just naming a handful. On Kendrick Lamar’s classic "To Pimp A Butterfly," you can hear his saxophone and arranging work, too.
To define Kamasi Washington by the people he’s collaborated with, however,
would be doing him a disservice. He’s recorded about half a dozen solo records. He’s a dynamic, thrilling composer and bandleader.
If you love the work of Alice Coltrane or Pharoah Sanders, you’ll hear something familiar in Kamasi’s music. Like them, Kamasi writes songs from a transcendent, spiritual place. It’s strange and lush. There’s usually a melody that hypnotizes you. The songs run long, but just like the free jazz greats, you’ll lose yourself in them.
Kamasi was born in the 80s, raised in Los Angeles, and he grew up listening to jazz classics, but also N.W.A., Marvin Gaye, and Snoop. The music he makes is eclectic. It’s why his albums have ended up on so many critics’ top 10 lists, and it’s also why those same critics often ask whether Kamasi Washington is the one to make jazz a young person’s game again.
His latest album Heaven and Earth is out now, and he’s also
touring North America.

#144 - Chris Hewitt (Empire) on R.E.M. ‘New Adventures in Hi Fi’ — Mr Jeremy Dylan
Today I’m joined by a journalist of such lethal cunning… Chris Hewitt - news editor for film journal Empire Magazine and host of their massively popular podcast - joins me to talk about an overlooked classic in the catalogue of Georgian alt-rockers REM - 1996′s ‘New Adventures in Hi-Fi’.How does the near death of drummer Bill Berry hang over the atmosphere of the album? How did Michael Stipe’s vocal style evolve from Murmur to this album and beyond? Why does Chris think Ringo Starr is the worst drummer in rock history? What was the REM’s controversial original name? How did the band end up outlasting some of the acts it influenced? and most importantly - which members of the Avengers cast will play REM in the movie that tells the story of their reunion to take down President Donald Trump?
