What can be better than lying on a beach in Corfu sipping at a Cafรฉ frappรฉ and listening to the new Kamasi Washington ๐ Heaven And Earth! by Kamasi Washington
Can't help but feeling Kamasi is just treading the same ground at this point? I used to dismiss his critics, but I've found myself unable to ignore some of their points on this record.
Tired of the 'epic' sound that worked on 'The Epic' (funnily enough), but another 2.5 hours of it and I feel like I'm hitting repeat. I really want to hear him actually try out some different dynamics. His sax playing usually revolves around him building up to a high point and then hammering on the same note over and over again.
I've only heard this once, so take it with a grain of salt. This record's been getting huge praise in pretty much every corner - are we content starved for jazz?

It wasnโt my cup of tea. I canโt deal with all the choirs and strings. I didnโt even make it all the way through.
These are the jazz things currently on my 2018 list:
Industry-wise, yeah, don't expect too much exciting stuff from late May until late September. Independent-wise, dig away. _________________ Doubles & Conch
