Kamasi Washington Announces Tour in Support of Critically Acclaimed Album, The Epic

"...this saxophonist-composer is unusually well poised to secure the attention of listeners who have previously been uninterested in jazz." - Pitchfork

"The most ambitious jazz album to arrive in ages..." - iTunes

"In a millennium largely absent of anything new or captivating in the jazz idiom,
Washington has just unleashed a musical hydra grounded in respect and intimate knowledge of the past and striking far out into a hopeful future." - Variety
  
"Jazz fusion that rockets everywhere from electric Miles groove to Sun Ra sputter, from velvety smooth to hardcore squawk - and still sounds as future-minded as any hip-hop or experimental electronic LP out." - Rolling Stone
