Fearless Movement - Kamasi Washington
Turning his attention to dance for his latest album, Fearless Movement, out this May on Young, Kamasi Washington resumes his ongoing study of music as a means of connection. His 2015 album The Epic, as well as 2018’s Heaven and Earth, were received by critics and audiences as a reimagination of modern jazz showcasing Washington’s larger-than-life compositions full of celestial grandeur and his distinct blend of jazz, Latin, funk, classical, hip-hop, and soul. Fearless Movement, however, offers something different: terrestrial rhythms and collaborations from rappers, musical icons, and even Washington’s own daughter. Features include: Thundercat, Taj Austin, Ras Austin, Patrice Quinn, DJ Battlecat, Brandon Coleman, D-Smoke, George Clinton, BJ the Chicago Kid, and Andre 3000.

Reviews
"Kamasi Washington isn't a mere musician. He's a mad scientist. He has developed a way to imbue us with hope on a molecular level. You don't just feel it in your bones, you feel the harmonic vibrations in the very energies that make us human. With every note, every cell in your body feels alive with the knowledge that we will endure."
