Thank You NPR Tiny Desk for having me! This was a once in a lifetime moment! Watching the performance feels like watching a scene I dreamed in a dream.
Loved this SO much. Just went to check out your tour schedule. If there’s anyway you all can make it to Louisville KY around the time you play Nashville, Memphis and St. Louis, I’d be there and so would all my friends! Thank you all for sharing your gift
Terri Lyne said it best: “pre-eminent style bender and blender, successfully juxtaposing genres through his production expertise and use of melodic and harmonic forms that deftly integrate the new with the old.”
Incredible performance. Floored!! These songs are so beautiful and this band is so locked in. And that Nick hakim verse just casually slipped in there 🫠
I love Tiny Desk Concerts, and to be honest I don’t always watch them end to end. This one I for sure did - this is what jazz looks like in 2023 “What’s the meaning of algorithms if the rhythm is out of rhythm?”
Congratulations Kassa! Your music is so inspiring and peaceful/soothing to the soul. I really enjoyed this performance. Great chemistry within the band too.
I literally just heard of Kassa minutes before checking out this performance! This is superb! From the opening song to the last. Excellent artistry and phenomenal band. He just gained a new fan.
Music has so many different expression and this beautiful group is quite the unique experience. Thank you for being you 💞♾️ PS: The red amongst the white, respects Divine... I see you lotus.
It would do a grave disservice to pigeonhole this music into any specific genre. Plain and simple it’s just transcendent art. It also challenging and cerebral, and I’m here for it

You all killed it!
Legendary performance

Just saw him tonight . He opened for Digable Planets. It was an experience. Do yourself a favor and go see him and his band live!

La Casa Azul with Roy Hargrove was one the best news of 2019…

My world got bigger today! Love the stylistic fusion going on here! 👏👏👏
The vibe of this group is so lovely. I'm painting and I keep rewatching this concert just to keep my juices flowing...thank you, Tiny Desk!

Hats off to Ian Fink, the keys player, what a guy!!!
I have been listening to Kassa since his first project, so glad to see him on here again, and to see him live this summer :)
The Tiny Desk sound engineering is just toooooo pure! Kassa Overall goodness gracious!
The most interesting and intelligent band I’ve listened in many, many time 👏👏👏👏
Terrific performance from the first note to the last! Beautiful arrangements as well. You all killed it!
Umm what have I stumbled across here? I’m going through this man’s whole discography now. This is beautiful
So glad I clicked on this this morning. This was a whole jam. Incredibly... rich ☀️🌺👌🏿
So much goosebumps at the song find me - this is so incredible
One of the best live performances I’ve ever seen was these guys at Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Festival, truly astounding talent across each member ❤️
Genius. Mastery. Absolutely incredible
Incredible performance. Floored!! These songs are so beautiful and this band is so locked in. And that Nick hakim verse just casually slipped in there 🫠
I was so blown away by this group performing at the San Jose jazz festival. If you ever get a chance go to a show!!!
I love Tiny Desk Concerts, and to be honest I don’t always watch them end to end. This one I for sure did - this is what jazz looks like in 2023

Loved this! And loved Ian Finkelstein on keys!!
This is precious and absolutely has to be released on vinyl as a separate release!
That would be wonderful
Congratulations Kassa! Your music is so inspiring and peaceful/soothing to the soul. I really enjoyed this performance. Great chemistry within the band too.
Bravo Kassa 🙌🏾 … Brooklyn loves you
these last two singles are special - excited for his upcoming album
So much going on musically. Absolutely brilliant.
I literally just heard of Kassa minutes before checking out this performance! This is superb! From the opening song to the last. Excellent artistry and phenomenal band. He just gained a new fan.
I came here from WARP's post about The Drums Will Protect You, and that's a wonderful tiny desk concert ! I am gonna watch the film right now.
14:01 Kassa looked at J. Hoard expectantly and he responded beautifully. His falsetto is so emo I can't stop getting goosebumps.
