    This album is so ambitious and mesmerizing, to compile nearly three hours of music into a triple album for his debut? While Robert Glaspers Black Radio pushed jazz further, Kamasi has shoved it over the hill? Had the honor of watching him at the blue note and briefly meeting him after. One of the greatest living musicians and this is ONLY album one

    At 4:33 ... I know that the purpose of this song is totally different from what I feel at this very moment, I know that the meaning for "love" that this song tries to express serves to another meaning, but, I have to say, I am surrended, no matter how much weight to take life forward force me to give up, in this small moment that I quoted, I gain breath, and I realize that I need to continue, why? Why ... it's like this, this is LIFE, this is living, in that small moment, I realize that I reach a limit, then I stop, I gain breath and I see that I have the strength to continue facing whatever challenge is ahead, a breath that I was waiting and gives me POWER to keep gowing and not give up, this is something that only music, that little moment in time like this can provide me, I cant express this feeling literally, I can only tell you that this is powerfull enough to keep me STRONG, and makes me LUCID, AWAKENED, and ALERT to the LIFE, this forces me to understand that the best of EVERYTHING is yet to come.
    People, there is no formula, there is no secret or recipe to be full and complete, just look at yourselves and understand that EVERYTHING you ALL need is already there with you, just listen to yourself and you will be well. "Askim" for LIFE. Greetings from a friend from somewhere.

    Excellent work from this young talent - jazz is not meant to be background music, it's meant to uplift and inspire, and this
    album does just that! A great vision brought to fruition in this "Epic" new recording. Glad it's on vinyl - will be my next purchase. Big thumbs up!

    Stephen Bruner - wow, amazing bassist. Reminds me of Wes Montgomery a little bit, though he was a guitarist. Every musician in these songs have been amazing. This music is amazing and IT'S NEW, as a huge fan of Coltrane, Sanders, Brotzmann, Sun Ra, and any and all avante garde jazz musicians, it makes me so so so happy to know that someone is carrying on this music and mindset in such a well done way. I have a new favorite Jazz Musician.
