About the Event

with Special Guest Peregrine Falls

Kamasi Washington is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and bandleader born and raised in Los Angeles. His three bodies of work to date—The Epic; Harmony of Difference, an EP originally commissioned for the 2017 Whitney Biennial; and Heaven and Earth—are among the most acclaimed of this century. As Told To G/D Thyself, his short film companion to Heaven and Earth, debuted at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival to widespread acclaim. In 2020, Washington scored the Michelle Obama documentary Becoming, earning Emmy and Grammy nominations for his work. Also in 2020, Washington co-founded the supergroup Dinner Party with longtime friends and collaborators Terrace Martin, Robert Glasper and 9th Wonder—their EP Dinner Party (Dessert) was subsequently nominated for a Grammy for Best Progressive R&B Album. In 2021, Washington contributed a cover of Metallica’s “My Friend of Misery” to the band’s Metallica Blacklist covers project. Washington has toured the world over and collaborated and shared stages with Kendrick Lamar, Florence + the Machine, Herbie Hancock—with whom he will curate the Hollywood Bowl Jazz Fest for the second year in a row—and many more. His new album Fearless Movement, inspired by dance and the birth of his first daughter, is out May 3rd on Young.

No artist in the 21st century has brought jazz to such a young and diverse audience as Kamasi Washington. The Los Angeles tenor saxophonist and composer bridges the music's revered traditions and its multi-limbed experiments in other genres. He’s as comfortable headlining storied concert halls as he is playing mammoth rock festivals or DIY performance spaces. It’s no wonder that in 2016, the New York Times Magazine called him “the most-talked-about jazz musician since Wynton Marsalis arrived on the New York scene three decades ago.”
