Kamasi Washington - Vilnius

The benchmark for contemporary jazz - Kamasi Washington returns to Lithuania

This summer, many famous musicians from around the world will collect crowds in the Great Yard of Lukiškės Prison. One of them is Kamasi Washington from the United States. The good news is that the jazz benchmark, once fascinated by the capital, returns to Lithuania in the summer.

One of the most prominent names of contemporary jazz on July 27th. will organize an exclusive performance on the Lukiškės Prison scene. It is good to know that Vilnius is recorded among major European festivals. Another big thank you to the music agency 8 Days A Week. The American jazz star will present her latest work in the capital. Beautiful concerts in the Great Lukiškės Prison Yard.

Kamasi Washington is a character of a Oh and today's jazz symbol. Saxophone icon. His name shines from far away jazz festivals in posters. Jazz is interpreted by interpreting the rules of the genre and then breaking them in half and inspiring thousands. Visionary, changing the concept of jazz daily. He lured a young audience of listeners and showed that more people could listen to such quite complex music.

He is not afraid to change himself, learns life and grows incredibly fast. Kamas jazz is a spiritual experience and a source of inspiration for artistic ambitions. Impressive music catalog, enviable collaborators, mind -hard creative productivity and immeasurable potential.

Today, Kamasi is under the care of the influential publishing company Young. This solid publisher today takes care of The XX, FKA Twigs, Sampha and Jamie XX careers. His name is pronounced with the best of genres - Kendrick Lamar, Florence + The Machine, Flying Lotus, St. Vincent, Run The Jewels, Lauryn Hill, Herbie Hancocku, Thundercat and other enlighteners. Michelle Obama's documentary "My History" is among the author's work.

Today, Kamasi is one of the most ambitious musicians who boldly fulfill their dreams and visions. Washington recently launched a new album, Fearless Movement, which is admired by music lovers and music critics around the world. A almost 90 -minute record is a wonderful musical journey and no epithets will describe that scale and strength.

"Washington remains faithful to his long -term vision - presents a wide, eclectic range of works that refutes any perception of the jazz as a closed musical world and reveals the strong chemistry of the main group of his group and close friends," writes The New York Times.

The music publication Under the Radar also has no good words: "Fearless Movement album Kamasi proves its dedication to innovation and establishes its place in the great jazz canon."

The new album is based on the family

The axis of the new Kamasi Washington album, Fearless Movement, is flexibility. Well, that we are all born flexible, but without flexibility, we lose it. Did Kamasasi write a new album for dance? Metaphorically - yes. "I will run behind - dance as an album idea should not be understood directly. Dance as movement, expression is like music - a way to express my spirit through the body. The music I create is not directly related to dance, Even if you are based on a specific topic - be it a dance, discovery or salvation - you never know where it will eventually lead you. The Fearless Movement album is a continuation of music as a communication tool. The 2015 album "The Epic" and the 2018 Heaven and Earth were appreciated by music critics and listeners as an interpretation of contemporary jazz. They feature expressive compositions that combine jazz, Latin music, funk, classic, hip -hop and soul. Meanwhile, the Fearless Movement album features earthy rhythms, and when the list is seen, the jaw is open to the album. See: Thundercat, Taj Austin, Ras Austin, DJ Battlecat, D Smoke, George Clinton, BJ The Chicago Kid, André 3000 (this solid rapper recorded Dream State Flute!) And more. One thing is clear - coloning and multidisciplinary approach are the basis of creative work and a kind of instinct.

"Instead of transporting music to a particular place, we make the right music where we are," says Kamasi and intrigue because of its appearance in a unique heritage object.

If you think that the 21st century The music world has already seen everything - as we assure you still being able to surprise you. As the word word says "Pitchforn": "Kamasi Washington Likes to Go Big." Really, kamasi is larger than the genre itself.

Another magical and multi -layered concert in the open air awaits us. You will like jazz for those who are familiar with jazz for strangers and even non -listening.
Storage to pick up a cheaper ticket (better for you) and stay outside the prison gate.
