Some of the best musicians LA has to offer…all on one stage! Astounding. Can’t wait to see them again.

As always Kamasi and his band were brilliant. I had not listened to his new album yet so went in not knowing what to expect. I was very happy.

The double-drum setup alone was worth the price of admission. I couldn't have asked for a better live show.
Kalamazoo, MI@Kalamazoo State Theatre
Segunda vez que veo a este genio contemporáneo del jazz y como de costumbre no defrauda. Un gran concierto!
Madrid, Spain@Coliseum Theater
a pleasure. beauty all over. loved his performance and that of his fellow musicians. to repeat.
Porto, Portugal@Hard Club
Top notch, quality jazz, I think he even sneaked in the Legend of Zelda theme at the Street Fighter Mas encore
Curitiba, Brazil@Ópera de Arame - Parque das Pedreiras
Incredible, gifted artists creatively creating incredible music. Kamasai Washington demonstrates amazing leadership in attracting gifted artists providing a plan based on his compositions then allowing each to add their own creative influence on the musical tapestry. The result was a complex, multi-level and complexly woven aural landscape, rich and beautiful in its complexity, joyous in its adminstration. The concept of "sheets of sounds" associated with the great Coltrane becomes "waterfalls of sounds" in Washington's hands. The freedom experienced in his music and his leadership of the band reminds me of the experience of a Sun Ra concert. I cannot wait until he returns. I eagerly await his new musical explorations. A great man making great music

A Most Eclectic Experience of 2+ hours of Jazz Music, which greatly appreciated and worth it in this setting! Thanks Kamasi!!
Washington, DC@Lincoln Theatre
Kamasi is a bad ass
His band was great the show was incredible
Probably the best show I have seen this year
Saint Paul, MN@Palace Theatre
his tribute to roy hargrove literally brought me to tears. i love how he bends the style of his original recordings to create moments just for the audience to savor and possibly never hear again... it was a religious experience.
Chicago, IL@Riviera Theatre
Amazing! So much talent and soul from everyone on stage, including the opener. Had me grinning ear to ear and high fiving strangers in the balcony.
Saint Paul, MN@Palace Theatre
Great show. Powerful, powerful, powerful. The band was excellent, vocals soulful, Kamasi was epic. Two drum kits? Yeah, and ya felt ‘em. Keyboards rocked and ripped. Bass was phenomenal, bow work blew my mind. Porter on trombone superb in tandem with Kamasi and solo. Don’t miss this show if it comes to your town.
P.S. Victory Boyd gave a beautiful and moving opening act performance. Check out her EP.
Denver, CO@Ogden Theater
The man is great as he’s turning a new generation of young folks who grew up listening to hip-Hợp to the best Jazz heard in years. Unfortunately the acoustic was simply awful and some of the nuances got lost in one of the worst venues I’ve seen in years.
Lyon, France@Nuits Sonores @ Auditorium de Lyon
Loved experiencing Kamasi Washington and so much of the West Coast Get Down thru Re Run, Truth, Street Fighter Mas and Fists of Fury and more. So good. Kamasi transcends always. Patrice Q and those vocals. Brandon C and those keys. Miles and that bass. Ryan and that slide. Yo. See them in this lifetime.
Forest Hills, NY@Forest Hills Stadium
Kamasi and his band are amazing ! Unfortunately the sound mix was not great at the Hollywood Bowl.Also you have Herbie Hancock playing the second part of the show and can get the young and old generation to jam at least once? Wasted opportunity.Still Thanks for Kamasi keeping Jazz alive!
Hollywood, CA@Hollywood Bowl
Die Show war super, den Sound fand ich nicht so toll, das lag glaub ich eher an der PA Anlage weniger an der Band, wenn die Sängerin in Aktion war, war es harmonisch, ohne Gesang haben sie das disharmonische ausgelebt aber gut, den Synthesizer fand ich klasse experimentell.
Stuttgart, Germany@Jazzopen Stuttgart @ Altes Schloß
The fully seated Academy hosted an amazing Kasami Washington et al set. I'd go watch that every day if I could 🎷❤️
Manchester, United Kingdom@Manchester Academy
The show was amazing! Far exceeded my expectations. I'm very grateful to be a part of that audience. The only reason it's not a full five stars is because some members from the album were not there.
New York, NY@Webster Hall
Great blend of original bumping hip hop and classic jazz with high energy and documented history to boot!
Los Angeles, CA@California Plaza
