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 re-imagination 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. The album’s first single, “Prologue” arrives today, watch the video below:
Washington has unveiled plans for an extensive North American tour kicking off May 4 at New York’s Beacon Theatre and culminating with the Hollywood Bowl Jazz Festival, which he will co-curate with Herbie Hancock for the second year in a row. Tour routing includes stops in Toronto (May 7th @ History) and Vancouver (May 30th @ Vogue), tickets HERE.
