Description:Epic by Kamasi Washington, released 13 May 2015, includes the following tracks: "Isabelle", "The Next Step" and more. This version of Epic comes as a 3xCD. -
The band are all from Los Angeles, mostly South Central, and it's members - who call themselves variously "The Next Step" and the "The West Coast Get Down" - have been congregating since they were barely teenagers in a backyard shack in Inglewood. The story The Epic tells, without words but rather though some combination of magic, mastery, and sheer force of imagination, the story of Kamasi Washington and the Next Step and their collective mission: to remove jazz from the shelf of relics and make it new, unexpected, and dangerous again.

Robert S. - 27/Nov/2021 5 of 5 Stars!
The best jazz album of the century, so far. I think this is a Afro Jazz album with elements of Gospel, Opera, and some Post Bop elements. Deeply soulful solos... Really love it!
