Kamasi Washington - What's In My Bag?

[@everydaylouie]

I LOVE THAT KAMASI LOVES ANIME

[@fiilisboa]

He released the best jazz album of the last year, likes Ed Motta, javanese traditional music, anime and he's always trying to be a positive influence for kids and everyone that comes in touch with him... Such a great person. I admire him a lot.

[@CephBacon]

Felipe balinese gamelan is better than javanese gamelan imo

[@xadisembodiedvoice]

what's the difference?

[@helmiazizm]

@@xadisembodiedvoice I guess Javanese gamelan's tend to have a slower beat than Balinese, but I don't really know

[@TheProgManTimSTR]

Please get more Jazz artists to Amoeba. It's so intresting to hear them talk about their sources of inspiration.

[@abelramirez7320]

Badbadnotgood

[@chillbraah684]

BBNG isnt really jazz

[@xebio6]

What IS jazz?

[@AndreasDevig]

Ed Motta would be great I think. He has a really big record collection.

[@MinkyBoodle44]

He seems so well put-together. Very articulate, very down to earth, and also very diverse. It's cool when you see people like this in the music industry.

[@katchafiah]

totally agree

[@bartlettohio]

Jazz fans all over the world are praising this man ! I know that jazz isn't for everyone, it never was...but when the jazz bug bites you can't get enough of it...Watch all the old videos of Roland Kirk, Ornette Coleman, Sonny Stitt etc. and you see men who function on a whole other level ....Kamasi is on that journey !

[@b3at2]

james mcbride jazz is for every one.. but at different times of ones life. For me it was always in the background... and now as an adult its at the forefront.

[@SleepFan771]

Kamasi Washington is dope! He made the best Jazz album of 2015. GO FUCKING BUY THE EPIC!

[@cactaceous]

+Ocean Sage Downloaded it for free. Saw him twice live though.

[@cactaceous]

+IT'S CAUSE IM BLACK AINT IT? I am supporting the man, his band and their music. I just paid $40 to go see him again Feb 24. 3 times in less than a year. I've turned a bunch of my friends on to him. 6 of us are gonna see him. That's support.

[@Brosefinho]

Ocean Sage mhhhh bbng and ghost face sour souls anyone

[@drakebunch9807]

And the best jazz album of 2018.

[@Trip8201]

If they another Cowboy Bebop movie I hope Kamasi does the soundtrack

[@bean4423]

+Tremaine Triplett That'd be HELLA dope

[@TheGuyWithTheCookies]

YES

[@truckasauruswrecks9141]

I'd die. That'd be so amazing.

[@Heffsta02]

Bruh, YES.

[@sengroagers1111]

HOLY SHIT YES

[@loxeggcheese]

"Alice Coltrane will be bumped" Feel that heavy!!

[@boogiedownbronx73]

+Goldberg for sure got it recently on vinyl OG oewieee had spent some bucks but it was worth it.

[@Koykah]

fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinally been waiting on this one

[@amoeba]

+koykah Hope it was worth the wait!! :)

[@mondola]

Kamasi is the man. Saw him live and it was great, awesome music. He seems like a real nice guy too.

[@darkbluebossa]

Hey, what a surprise to see an Ed Motta album in his bag. I am brazilian, and I know Ed´s music pretty well.

[@golden3674]

Capturing truth through expression, both in taste and production. Love you Kamasi.

[@calebc1793]

I died when he started talking about Anime

[@kiltxan1642]

RIP

[@MrSphinxster]

How can you not love this guy?

[@GregEnemy]

his tastes are superb, never heard his record but imma pick it up off the strength of this

[@dkatomski]

+GregEnemy The Epic is epic!

[@cheerfuljuan]

what a charming human being. seeing him live in a week and I'm very excited

[@RickClassico]

I bought his album The Epic earlier this week and loved it, there is contemporary jazz out there that is really, really,really good and Kamasi proves it!

[@grtsquires]

Such a lovely guy, got to meet him when he came out to Sydney and he was so genuine and charismatic

[@nicolasbertin8552]

Oh gamelan man, one of my favorite styles of ethnic music... At first it goes everywhere and you think "is this like jazz" ? But there is 0 improv, it's all rehearsed like crazy until perfection. It's mostly intrumental, and the bell-like sounds hooked me to it. It's long tracks, psychedelic, with breaks, climax, it's a bit like post rock in a way, very hypnotic post rock.

[@VickyFlint]

What a beautiful soul he is.

[@vokasimid5330]

I love when he's talking about gamelan it's from my country

[@i.c.fagundes9770]

He likes Ed Motta!! Brazil Loves you Kamasi !!

[@JandJandJandJandJ]

I absolutely love it when I see an artist on here where I own most of the albums on their buy list. I've never even listened to this dude but I sure am now

[@tensaichigo2]

This dude. Legit, one of the coolest guys around.

[@marciocouto3543]

He's sooooo smooth and chilled up.

[@retohofmann5878]

05:40 This Max Roach-Album always reminded me of Kamasi...funny he picked it.

[@lateshiachilds3640]

Cool, I love these clips I wish I could watch one of these in person

[@fatcraze216]

Each anime series he listed is in my top ten, iI think i found my soul homie.

[@Merkaba4203]

Seriously been waiting for another WIMB of this caliber.

[@sonofmonstermagnet1645]

The Alice Coltrane album is a killer.

[@technodroog]

this is exactly why "What's in My Bag" series is pure gold

[@scottbellman6329]

Just discovered this brilliant, personal and insightful musicology gift. Thank you Kamasi. Thank you Amoeba. Hope to catch up with you all soon. Peace.

[@rafifnervous]

the intro in beginning. "Kamasi Washington - Miss Understanding"

[@blackvitruvianman]

Great...I like seeing the process of how he loosened up by the end of the interview!

[@estudiosfolkloreiberoamericano]

what a nerdy genius!!!

[@waffle6932]

We love you Kamasi!

[@logansworth]

Great episode! He's so laid back and yet totally engaging.

[@TheBdd4]

Thank you, I love what you have done here for us.

[@wii6tomoki]

Thank you Amoeba! You granted my wish!!!!

[@4phunk161]

What an excellent series. A truly sincere thank you.

[@sengroagers1111]

Really cool to get a glimpse into the life and personality of an artist like him. Would be really cool if they had videos like this back in the day for people like Miles and Trane. Lol

[@marcinjanikk]

Best artist of the year! Greetings from Poland!

[@woundsdrone]

I love Ed Motta. Sick pick from one of my favorite contemporary jazz artists.

[@disssimulator]

Recomendando Ed Motta from Brazil, épico!

[@kisslena]

Glorious! Thank you!💛🎷

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

I'm a big fan of the music of both Kamasi Washington's and his first selection, Fela Kuti's!

[@gregc7699]

best jazz album of 2015 easily

[@Dougalastyle]

this man has such a varied taste in music

[@leonie563]

OGI+Kamasi+Thundercat+ Andre3000+Jungle would be wild gig. Miss the record stores for all the reason Kamasi outlines in here. The simple pleasure of taking music off the shelf a nd hearing it echo down the house or garden.

[@exonerative]

One of the greatest musicians alive.

[@ssaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam]

I'd love to see a what's in my bag with Anderson Paak.

[@Pr3ttyInBlackxo]

I second this.

[@rachmadiangilang1048]

thanks Kamasi for listening to Gamelan!

[@noizreduxion2888]

One of the dudes I wish I would have met or grew with, along with DEL, to share music and good old school fighting video games times. Real artists are hard workers on their thing but they stay open-minded on different inspiration sources. People like that make you want to play music too as they cherish the beauty and fun of life.

[@kharmakhollective6633]

Really glad Kamasi Washington exists

[@95ern]

What a humble guy!

[@taranchula3919]

Kamasi turned me on to some great albums and songs with this one.

[@reverb508]

On top of being a brilliant musician, he seems like a really cool guy

[@zigzagwandering]

i love blasting the rite of spring too lmao. fela, alice, and igor. too cool

[@oriannabampoe4326]

How has he managed to amaze me even more than he already did?

[@crazycutz8072]

wow.. what inspirational selection both vinyl and anime. great taste

[@sengroagers1111]

This dude just deadass pulled out a stack of anime what plane of existence am I on

[@mck7646]

Deadass?

[@Zonno5]

Thanks for the Ed Motta recommendation! I am really enjoying it.

[@JohnAldenDavis]

YEAH, Samurai 7 is so rad! I'm so glad I have the complete series on DVD.

[@Hal9000ize]

Ever watch the Akira Kurosawa original?

[@rintojulian2680]

Wow, he likes Gamelan, Im proud as Indonesian

[@noirsociety]

if there's more people like Kamasi in the world, then there be no war but only peace :)

[@swzzlestik5426]

you take the words outta my brain... this is the coolest, no bullshit cat alive! I just got a global music education

[@bagofrandom]

Really chill dude. haha and he likes Samurai 7 too! That's one of thew few anime's i've seen. Great vid!

[@captop12]

Some really enlightening picks, Mr. Washington. I've got homework/research to do now.

[@reJECT0]

Such a charismatic man, fantastic episode.

[@SaltyMusicOne]

awesome- and love that other Jazz musicians are into Anime too- love it!

[@wadewheelingtonii7690]

Samurai 7, I'm going to go watch it now!

[@shellacSOUP58]

Kamari's live show is possibly the best show in music right now. Go see him, take a pilgrimage if you have to.

[@endah08]

'Listening to the Rite of Spring really really loud' hahaha yes Kamasi

[@WasabiStorm]

Kamasi is the mannnn! Great picks.

[@Joseph-hi8ow]

[@exactlywhatisaid]

Journey In Satchidananda is so fucking dope

[@bagofrandom]

+exactlywhatisaid so true, gorgeous harp

[@SirRunk666]

Do the guests on the show have to pay for their picks?

[@amoeba]

+SirRunk We do give our guests gift certificates, but many artists do more shopping while they're here and purchase stuff above & beyond what we provide.

[@nope1246]

+SirRunk love the avatar.

[@SirRunk666]

+nope1246 Thanks, me too.

[@viniciusdepaula4189]

Listen Ed Motta! He's our Brazilian hero!

[@Vibin]

[@kiyontagonzales1928]

[@sadiqal-amindyer1595]

[@onesixtwofiveone]

Smoked a blunt with this guy at the piano bar a couple years ago. lol Such a nice guy!

[@patrick4833]

His taste is absolutely perfect but didn't we all already know that.... The Epic is such a jam

[@uunn1ttyy]

[@earkillers1754]

[@NERD32501]

He dresses like my grandmother, Cool music though!

[@jenro9801]

There's quite a wave of men dressing like my grandma I'm into it

[@crazyhorsewest4605]

I ended up listening to a few tracks from Ed Motta's 'Aor' (both English and Brazillian version) upon watching this video and is it just me or does he have a Donald Fagen sorta vibe to him? I can't help but shake that thought.

[@КристинаМустафина-ц5ю]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@makesense9927]

Fela is the King love you Kamasi!

[@VICTOR-tv4ou]

Opa, ele escuta Ed Motta, baixou o respeito aqui.

[@SidewaysBurnouts]

this neosoul wave is beautiful.

[@DonYurik]

Love this guy

[@thunderbird252]

Kamasi seems like he'd be super fun to chill with

[@Bahimo3154]

I'm lucky to be born in same generation as Kamasi !

[@soulc4ster]

best artist of this year ;)
