@@franzdekelver4012 oooh you mean the "still in a league of his own", i meant that as in "the best of his generation", obviosly theres other great jazz musicians from the past that absolutely are on his level or arguably exceed him like Coltrane or Davis. I do gotta say tho Piazzolla was a tango musician not a jazz musician, obviosly tangos dna does include jazz, but its def more its own thing.

@@christophertracy2807 Agreed. I mean, I'm not black so I'm not speaking from experience here, but I'm pretty sure the best solution for the black community and for all other minorities too is for everyone to ignore race altogether pretty much.
I’ve been watching this video for days trying to decipher the message/symbolism and so far what I’ve come with is that “prologue” refers to an individual’s life before they make some kind of change that transcends themself. The group dancing at first reminds me of the struggle to find individuality and identity among a crowd of people, the man and woman represent the struggles of building a family or finding a partner, and the act with the people wearing masks almost reminds me of struggling with addictions/abuse. A friend of mine mentioned that it looked as if they were dancing in a public center meant for support groups and the tension buildings until the man who is crawling on his back struggles accompanied by Kamasi’s powerful climax until they final act where each dancer has their own background and moves which could represent breaking through or transcending into a changed individual. I hope I’m on to something, either way this is sooo dope and I love the art here!

i just finished watching my first time but there is certainly a lot of symbolism of individuality, yet at the same time, a lot of symbolism of a group identity. a dancing troupe (although dressed and even dancing almost individually), the shot of the band sitting together facing the camera, people looking in the same direction, people being intimate. its a both the things at the same time. the transcending into a changed individual didnt occur to me, but i see that now. is the group also changed? either way, for someone who isnt very visually inclined, this video was quite a positive experience.
I feel blessed at 50 ,I still get excited at new music being released ...fantastic , thanks to kamasi and his amazing band

You really think Miles Davis and John Coltrane would think this is something special? Compare this to what Miles was playing after his quintet recordings or Coltrane recorded on his last 4 recordings. They were light years ahead of this even back then.

Sorry you can’t see the beauty in this music and in his creation, but to say that our ancestors aren’t happy!!! How disrespectful. Why would you paint these two giants as somehow disapproving or upset about something so beautiful, even IF he hasn’t reached their level. 🤦🏾♀️

My cousine who is an acoustic engineer sent me this. This is beyond beautiful! That is really as close as you can get musically- making the listener really feel emotions hit really hard. Saw these comments about 6 minutes mark and that is true, this part really hit like a brickwall. Some of the best music I have listened to. Pure awesomeness.
Holy.... This was incredible... Once again damn near cried to a Kamasi joint; that got so powerful towards the end
A true modern GOAT. Every time he releases music, it makes me so happy.
this is the perfect combination of soul (not talking about music), art and expression. thank you Kamasi and all the people involved on this.
You have no idea how much I needed this today. This song is so fucking good.
My body is ready.
