Kamasi Washington - Fair As Equal - 2/23/2016 - Paste Studios, New York, NY

[@cheesoslimo]

This is the best bass intro of life.

[@MrScaramoosh]

EEr no sir.

[@andrewryan2814]

Miles Mosley has his own incredible Paste set. Check out "Abraham"

[@ByeByeFoot1979]

Wow I feel sorry for you that you havent heard anything better than this

[@paulaclarke-hill1157]

Fire 🔥 even after all these years.

[@tylera.williams6037]

Vocals - Patrice Quinn, Bass - Miles Mosley, Trombone - Ryan Porter, Sax - Kamasi.

[@miguelandres39]

Ryan Potter is the galactic sax?

[@miguelandres39]

sorry, I meant trombone

[@HotelCalifornia360]

I thought that bass was gonna explode into flames at one point. This is all so good 🥰

[@florianwolf9380]

Kamasi is to today’s jazz like Miles in the 70ies - breaking barriers & creating beautiful & complex music for the world to listen to. I love this guy - a radical, a revolutionary and a messiah for today’s music !

[@flukecentral5641]

except no way near as good or as groundbreaking

[@ByeByeFoot1979]

what barriers are being broken? Slow down on the Miles Davis reference. You look weird for this comment. This good but nothing we havent heard before. Breaking Barriers has me laughing so much though hahahaha

[@ben6323]

@@ByeByeFoot1979he’s doing stuff no one’s done before and pioneering contemporary jazz for the current young generation. Doesn’t mean miles still isn’t the goat, Kamasi is just taking things to new and fun places and I guarantee you miles today would agree if he heard it. But you’re superior opinion knows best for sure, keep on laughing about how much smarter you are about jazz and miles Davis. Lmao

[@tnointeen]

@@ben6323 Well spoken brother! 👏

[@MrRiaz25]

Ive never seen a standup bass get worked like that...amazing

[@SleepFan771]

The beginning sounded like a typewriter, lol. Kamasi is so cool. Love jazz.

[@zephy3086]

Put on a headphones and listen to the beginning🎶🎵💯

[@zephy3086]

Perfection😍

[@BVelenaLam]

Can we close our eyes today?...Can we pretend it’s all ok?...as if we were all seen one way. Why can’t we............(this moved me to pieces then reconstructed me in the most gentle way) 🙏🏽✌🏽🌹

[@elisanz2321]

Always coming back to this video and always so amazed by the level and purity of it

[@drj-pi9ob]

Wow! My powerful people..wake up!

[@mesajam4894]

omg i wasnt expecting something like this at all... im so moved, great artists and innovators never cease to surprise us..

[@marlonfedd8526]

I come back for the bass every time

[@nickboudin1]

Creates hypnotic and revelatory space akin to Trane's 'Love Supreme' Fantastic

[@robgorney]

hyperbole but it is good stuff

[@gabrielrheaume3173]

I'm feeling elevated.

[@beefheart9419]

Music is alive

[@federicovillaescusa5448]

Increíble la intro de contrabajo, lleva como una especie de pedal de efectos, no lo había visto usar antes . He descubierto a Kamasi hace unos días y estoy muy impresionado. Una pena que no vea en su catalogo discos de 45rpm.

[@TheRealFamespear]

Beautiful, y’all. 🙂

[@andrbobr]

This is stupidly good and I don't even listen to this kind of music often.

[@davidbinns4279]

Beyond words. If the other Miles were still with us, he would be linking up with these people, no doubt about it. This cut, Abraham, Malcolm's Theme - truly sublime. I couldn't make it to see see Miles M in London recently due to health hassles. Hopefully next time because this is coming from somewhere beautiful.

SO NICE !!!!

[@danielapaz3690]

Beautiful.

[@iantallman3786]

Mesmerizing

[@stacymaul2705]

Outstanding.

[@Grgtehe173]

This music goes directly into ones heart...

[@prevhatchett7187]

Just had the pleasure of seeing Kamasi in Richmond, Va.

[@iceavelli7667]

Tremendous

[@amirrahnama8974]

I wish there was a recording of this song !

[@Aristosek]

Hats off to sound engineer.

[@monkayotl]

Masterpiece

[@cjoyce4381]

[@tiffanymartinez4280]

crazy dude!!!

[@TCNHC]

I can't wait to see you in Dublin soon!

[@Groked]

I wonder if this came from the same place as "Truth" on Harmony of Difference. A lot of similarities. Both are gorgeous.

[@gabrielaguedes742]

Wonderful... estou apaixonada por esse som!

[@glauberdacruz3277]

Japanese Jazz that blows the mind. Hope you enjoy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHfQeWqjpKh_aMU

[@TheYetzerHara]

Hiroshi Suzuki .. not sure if you ever heard of him. I think it's a 1976 recording.

[@MeowMeowBasti]

unstoppable good

[@onlydalilah]

🤩🤩👏🏽👏🏽

[@bladome]

[@juancamaney3944]

el microfono le da muy buen sonido al sax, me parece que es un SE Gemini....

a un paso de la locura

[@afrikankodo]

What! That's an intro!

[@dorianpicard9431]

Drake is such a good bassist

[@luconeculone4610]

I was searching in the comments because I knew somebody had my same reaction

[@moggguel]

Festín para los tímpanos.

[@stilodrom]

piel de gallina incluido!

[@samueltomaz7567]

es ist shönes

[@edwardsullivan5884]

Drake is crushing the bass

[@MrScaramoosh]

gota bit in to himself i felt,as an intro.

[@AllegedlyButAlsoReally]

where can I buy this?

[@Lemwell7]

Sadly nowhere yet

[@dylanmahoney504]

whose the trombonist?

[@tylera.williams6037]

Ryan Porter!

[@brianburke808]

I hope paste closed the door so these monsters didn't get out. :)

[@Frazinho76]

Fat ❤

[@rcglez9666]

Really? Like innovations on Dazed and confused by LedZep in 1976 .

[@thomasprice1760]

Delay..flange..echo...

[@raplords00]

everything is amazing except that vocalist.... she is so drone, sounding kind of flat too

[@TheSirDominic]

I think she's just another layer of noise in this aspect, the lyrics definitely matter but she's more supplementary to the music itself as the sax definitely is the star of show

[@raplords00]

That said, a less dusty and crusted voice would have made it all a lot more cohesive. Next to the base, trombone and sax performance, she sticks out like a sore thumb. I just think she could have done better is all

[@TheSirDominic]

Yeah I see your point :), personally I like the rawness of her voice, but to each their own :)

[@juancamaney3944]

Also she is panned to the left. Conceptually it matches the setting of the vocalist in the video, but it does not sound good in my opinion.

[@Baribrotzer]

I think that the reason he plays with those musicians is that they're friends who all grew up together. Yes, they're all good, but they're also a team, and their unity comes from that music being the product of a community, not just one man's conception. She's part of the team. He could hire better, but that's not the point.
