Kamasi Washington
Heaven And Earth

Hello? Yes, it's Kamasi, all good? Hey listen, I just wanted to tell you something... I'm about to make a new album, you know? No, no, I think I will call the usual guys again, those ones over there that... Yes, exactly, them. Great. Yes, we've been playing together for a long time now, I love those guys endlessly! Listen, regarding the album, I think every song will start with a little theme riff over which a gospel choir will layer, then there will be a nice crescendo of brass, percussion, and other various instruments. Once it hits the climax, the atmosphere will relax and I'll do my usual two minutes of random solo noodling with my sax... What? Yeah, thank you so much, really, I practice every day, just doing what I can... Anyway, I'll do my thing and then the whole group will come back in for the big finale with another very, very jazzy bacchanal. And that's it, I think I said everything, any questions? Yes, I know, and indeed I think it's very unlikely we'll stay under 9 minutes per track. Yeah, all right, I'll make a double album so we can fit it all in. Oh, one last thing, start quietly informing the rock journalists, and let them know that this album will be "a modern reinterpretation of Coltrane and Sun Ra's spiritual-jazz"... yeah, something like "jazz contaminated in the times of Flying Lotus." All clear? Perfect! Thanks a lot, buddy, catch you soon ;)
