A fresh release from Kamasi Washington in the recording calendar really feels like something special these days. Something to set aside the time it takes in your life and immerse yourself in. Here's Fearless Movement. .
These guys work on a different plane from most of the Rock an Indie players you might go to. The Astral one. Really the best way to experience this is to let go of every other distraction from your everyday life an cast yourself adrift in its river of sound.
Fearless Movement. manages a remarkable balancing act. It's transcendental in the best traitions of the classic Miles, Coltrane, (Alice and John), Pharoah Sanders and Sun Ra Records. It's also contemporary, with generous space for guest performances from all kinds of musical fields of Black American experience. It pushes the envelope without pause for breath for the best part of ninety minutes,
I long ago resigned myself to the fact that I can't write about a really great Jazz record and attempt to do it justice. If you can't why bother to try. But this is some feast. Some achievement,
