We are super excited to announce that the new Kamasi Washington album is now in stock. Kamasi's 5th studio album 'Fearless Movement' partly inspired by the recent arrival of his daiughter is his most concise of all his albums. Whilst there are still strong elements of the expansive orchestral elements that have become characteristic of Kamasi's sound this record takes on a more grounded approach with the focus more on smaller ensembles and guest contributors, with the album featuring appearances from Andre 3000, George Clinton, Thundercat, Dwight Trible, just to name a few. To celebrate the release of this record...
