The Epic's Recent Critical Acclaim:
Click Here to See Kamasi Washington in:
"...this saxophonist-composer is unusually well poised to secure the attention
of listeners who have previously been uninterested in jazz." - Pitchfork
"The most ambitious jazz album to arrive in ages..." - iTunes
"In a millennium largely absent of anything new or captivating in the jazz idiom,
Washington has just unleashed a musical hydra grounded in respect and
intimate knowledge of the past and striking far out into a hopeful future." - Variety
"Jazz fusion that rockets everywhere from electric Miles groove to Sun Ra sputter, from velvety smooth to hardcore squawk - and still sounds as future-minded as any hip-hop or experimental electronic LP out." - Rolling Stone
"...his work as a soloist and arranger helps define the sound of
Kendrick Lamar's 'To Pimp a Butterfly,' one of the most important hip-hop
records of the last several years." - The New York Times
"...a mission to remake the word 'jazz' in the image of their own generation.
That's the feat here. You wouldn't be wrong to call that ambition epic."
"When Kamasi Washington called his new album
The Epic, he meant it." - NPR "All Things Considered"
"When jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington was contributing string arrangements to rapper Kendrick Lamar's 'To Pimp a Butterfly,' few could have predicted that both L.A. artists would end up dominating the conversation about
hip-hop and jazz in 2015." - The Los Angeles Times
