This is a Spiritual experience 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I am on an emotional roller coaster of joy. Kamasi and everyone on that stage are Magical Beings bestowed upon us to Uplift us and encourage us to Remember who we are. Spiritual Beings Having A Human Experience. The audience is reciprocating the energy. This is exactly what is needed in the world right now.

I'd like to think Kamasi is some kind of musical wizard from another dimension limiting and challenging himself and his friends in human form trying out this wiggly air on planet earth.

My favorite part is how juiced everybody was when thundercat did his solo

Was great but the rhythm section afterward got more totally hypnotic

You can tell the string players are having a ball. This stuff is a huge fucking treat for them, after decades of learning the strict, classical stuff. This is when they cut loose and go supernova. I love it.

@@esltogo6898 I take your point but it's the cutting loose that I wanna emphasise. I mean these string parts also written so they're actually playing part of an arrangement but it's that letting go, that rocking out that is amazing. I suppose you can also go crazy with Stravinsky's Firebird Suite or whatever but that's another story.

That's why I enjoy Jazz, my Brother, I enjoy more than anything the friendship that comes out as they are in the Jam Session, I see a lot of Power in that. Friends coming together to let the music instruments speak! That's why I love it, the artist makes the musical instruments SING! AMEN! More than anything I enjoy the CHEMISTRY in the Team.

5 years later.. still an unbelievable live experience. I was at this show - in fact I was in the front row for the entire 4 hours. This will be hands down one of the best shows I’ve ever experienced in my life without question. Period. I’m glad NPR documented some of these moments, truly a classic set from start to finish.

Absolutely mind-blowing!!!🤯 Kasami Washington, you wanted your music to impact people? Consider it done, and then some.💯Hands down. Watching this concert brought happy tears to my eyes!!!🥹 I loved that there were seemingly as many musicians on stage as there were attendees in the audience.🥰 I sent a link to my son, who loves music - jazz included. What an awesome gift to us all!!💯💖🎶🎷🎸🎺🎹🎻🥁🪈🪇🎛️🎶💖 Thank you, Kamasi Washington, as well as all of your musicians!!! You all are so incredibly awesome!!! 🥰🥹🦸🏽‍♀️🎷💪🏾🧠💖💯 💖💃🏻💖🙏🏽🕊️💖💯♾️ P.S. You all are truly blessed, having known one another since childhood!! It's hard enough to find one dear friend in a lifetime, let alone a handful or more. I'd love to see a documentary about that!! God bless you all, and Grandma, too!!!💯✌🏽💖🙏🏽🕊️💖💯♾️

This is like watch brother Sun Ra in his youth. Really loving this mans work!

This is part of Jazz history. So much soul...

The first song on this, to me at least, has that same sort of feel as Coltrane's "Love Supreme" - certainly the feeling when hearing it the first time, or indeed for the 100th time. Genius.

The album version gives me more of a Lonnie's Lament (Crescent) feel : a perfect melody at the begining and end with extended solos in between.

My man on the Trumpet is not only a phenomenal musician, he’s clearly also the hype man - awesome!

i cry at the fist minute of the show

Once this whole Covid mess is over with, Im going to see him in concert when he comes to Seattle. I'm going to put this out there.

pay very close attention to this dude-- he is quite possibly the most important musician in the last fifty years.

As Kamasi puts it "just keep playing your instrument"

I cried so many times watching the performances. Just... the greatness of it all overwhelms me. Fucking insane.

Even if mediated by the screen this simply remains one of the most beautiful musical experiences of my life

This is genuinely one of the most impressive things I've ever heard. Henrietta is absolutely gorgeous, chills.

one of the best concert in youtube (in my opinion). so spiritual and EPIC

Anyone here after the Homeland finale. Great music for a great ending to a series.

Mr. Kamasi Washington, THIS performance is now my weekly loop experience. Please tour overseas so I can experience your genius in person!

From South Africa! Love you Kamasi and your band, you are awesome! Ke a leboga!

The energy of the musicians, from the celloists, the violists, to the band is tremendous. I could watch and listen to this all day all night!

THUNDERCAAAAATTTT!!!! DOPE!!!!!!! PIKACHU!!!!!

That solo Thundercat did starting at 10:11 let me know how serious these guy were! Beastly!!!

I watch this periodically to immerse myself in the joy of excellence and friendship and beauty. It lives up to the album's name.

picking up right where sun ra left of. I feel like we made it passed the asteroid belt now

Terence on them Doritos, dude got mad munchies. On a real note, the Masters should be pleased, Jazz is in a very good place right now. Kamasi and these cats plus Glasper and "Daddy" Dave and Esperanza and Gretchen and Roy's Rh Factor and many more make the genre more flexible and accommodating than ever. Damn right its EPIC! I wonder if some of the orchestra are the same folk that rocked with Atwood-Ferguson on that ode to Dilla trip?

I can appreciate the flow of the playing and the energy of the people playing it! Getting past a lot of the preconceptions of what music should sound or be played like, is a huge obstacle for any musician/artist to overcome. The dynamics are set in a sort of emotional tone in the mids of many "purists" who seem to have forgotten that musical artforms have evolved and progressed from one form into another for centuries. If we stop this progress, we will stand static and become stagnant. Thank you, to this group of progressive thinking musicians who know that they are not willing to simply conform and erode!

what a session ...brilliant .

Brandon Coleman is AMAZING!!!

From Paimpol, "le journal d'un agrologue" is listening to Sir Kamasy Washington, The radio Arverne, in the middle of the french Volcanos gave birth of the first agronomy dissident program "journal d'un agrologue" on internet and KZread, let listen you to international rebirth of the fields and peasants all over the World, as Kamasy is reburthing the Sun Ra way if life. Long life to your art bro

Amazing music. Thank you.

AMAZING!!! LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT!!!

Amazing song, everithing, all days!

You are big, keep it up and never give up. You have a fan in Argentina :)

Thank you Kamasi Washington!

Amazing!!!

Good god this is fabulous!

Here I am watching this video for the umpteenth time. I must say Re Run still holds a place in my heart! The grooves on that song are insane! My fav is Brandon's solo and then Kamasi comes in with his saxaphone hip hop cypher solo. Everyone was clicking on this joint!!

One of the best videos on the internet I’m so glad this was documented

Those Heavenly voices and orchestra..is awesome ass combination...fine musicianship....beautiful and talented. Wish they had of done Clare de lune....Man the horns on that piece is sheer artistry.
