The Proclamation

Kamasi Washington

Furious, unpolished post-bop and spiritual jazz. Recorded long before the massive choirs, this is Kamasi Washington's raw, hungry, and acoustic debut.

Raw acoustic debut

A bruised tenor saxophone tears through a basement-warm room of acoustic bass and crashing cymbals. You are hearing a young colossus testing his lungs, long before the orchestras and choirs arrived.
