Kassa Overall: Tiny Desk Concert

[@KASSAOVERALL]

Thank You NPR Tiny Desk for having me! This was a once in a lifetime moment! Watching the performance feels like watching a scene I dreamed in a dream.

[@apewithanego]

You all killed it!

[@joshcolebass]

Legendary performance

[@Throwawayjim119]

Loved this SO much. Just went to check out your tour schedule. If there’s anyway you all can make it to Louisville KY around the time you play Nashville, Memphis and St. Louis, I’d be there and so would all my friends! Thank you all for sharing your gift

[@williamcroker6062]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaye yooooooooooooooooooo

[@rajniieddins1825]

Beautiful Kassa! Keep Shining Fam ~ You make the Town proud

[@shelliel4130]

Just saw him tonight . He opened for Digable Planets. It was an experience. Do yourself a favor and go see him and his band live!

[@wyntje83]

never heard of this guy before but I'm off to binge every piece of music I can find. see ya'll at the next one.

[@instantclassics1336]

La Casa Azul with Roy Hargrove was one the best news of 2019…

[@ryoss110]

Same

[@KevinMerinoCreations]

My world got bigger today! Love the stylistic fusion going on here! 👏👏👏

[@claudiorochat-felix6014]

Freshest music I’ve heard in over a decade

[@freein2339]

You need to hear more music

[@MarshallSmith-q4e]

Seattle is in the building! Beautiful.

[@romytaylor1817]

The vibe of this group is so lovely. I'm painting and I keep rewatching this concert just to keep my juices flowing...thank you, Tiny Desk!

[@TheoCroker]

Let’s go Kassa!!!!!!!

[@Nikya2t]

So much goosebumps at the song find me - this is so incredible

[@reger9325]

Hats off to Ian Fink, the keys player, what a guy!!!

[@javiercernuda8594]

The most interesting and intelligent band I’ve listened in many, many time 👏👏👏👏

[@crystalmoon1738]

So glad I clicked on this this morning. This was a whole jam. Incredibly... rich ☀️🌺👌🏿

[@dusky_og]

I have been listening to Kassa since his first project, so glad to see him on here again, and to see him live this summer :)

[@johnjennings8500]

Terrific performance from the first note to the last! Beautiful arrangements as well. You all killed it!

[@chrisdabu]

The Tiny Desk sound engineering is just toooooo pure! Kassa Overall goodness gracious!

[@therealkathleenkiddo]

Terri Lyne said it best: “pre-eminent style bender and blender, successfully juxtaposing genres through his production expertise and use of melodic and harmonic forms that deftly integrate the new with the old.”

[@reger9325]

One of the best live performances I’ve ever seen was these guys at Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Festival, truly astounding talent across each member ❤️

[@justinrcohn]

Incredible performance. Floored!! These songs are so beautiful and this band is so locked in. And that Nick hakim verse just casually slipped in there 🫠

[@RebeccaYoung-df3xy]

Loved this! And loved Ian Finkelstein on keys!!

[@xtherealbasedgodx]

Umm what have I stumbled across here? I’m going through this man’s whole discography now. This is beautiful

[@lejhoncotton5224]

Congratulations Kassa! Your music is so inspiring and peaceful/soothing to the soul. I really enjoyed this performance. Great chemistry within the band too.

[@bigkeys1]

So much going on musically. Absolutely brilliant.

[@NickGranville]

Really enjoyed this. Haven’t heard anything this original in a while. So good

[@georgegurdjieff4320]

This is precious and absolutely has to be released on vinyl as a separate release!

[@AC-ur2mz]

That would be wonderful

[@rhondacameron108]

Mesmerizing ❤ Outstanding Performances by all !

[@apewithanego]

I was so blown away by this group performing at the San Jose jazz festival. If you ever get a chance go to a show!!!

[@danis-]

[@LifeChange35]

Saw their show tonight in Baltimore! Absolutely amazing 👏🏽

[@devm5233]

Seriously one of the best.

[@hbya5673]

Every moment is wonderful and perfect❤

[@intylekt]

Genius. Mastery. Absolutely incredible

[@BrentBrewington]

I love Tiny Desk Concerts, and to be honest I don’t always watch them end to end. This one I for sure did - this is what jazz looks like in 2023 “What’s the meaning of algorithms if the rhythm is out of rhythm?”

[@lynnbelcher4893]

Pianist is amazing. Enjoyed very much.

[@1gopifatimah]

My favorite act. Never heard until now. So dang good. Thank you!! Fan forever

[@ayosalawu4755]

This is a masterpiece.

[@NikkiGShow]

THIS WAS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Get it babies!!

[@uscitizen3252]

I literally just heard of Kassa minutes before checking out this performance! This is superb! From the opening song to the last. Excellent artistry and phenomenal band. He just gained a new fan.

[@workingtoseethelight8244]

I know you guy from somewhere, still keepin it hype and letting the jazz run wild, thanks and congrats! Bless!

[@bongobongo808]

I came here from WARP's post about The Drums Will Protect You, and that's a wonderful tiny desk concert ! I am gonna watch the film right now.

[@Mrbeat-88]

[@mrdariush89]

Ian Finkelstein is amazing ❤ 💣

[@kristaselene]

Really innovative music. Nick Hakim’s music is mesmerizing. Unjustly Underrated.

[@rahulsrrf-work]

I love this set. Getting very much a story vibe like from Anderson Paak or Lupe Fiasco

[@michaelmenacho5950]

OOOO so steezy. love it. love the vibe and the pause moments and blitz moments!

[@bigtimedrum]

That was a vibe , I like it .

[@iraazela]

Music has so many different expression and this beautiful group is quite the unique experience. Thank you for being you 💞♾️ PS: The red amongst the white, respects Divine... I see you lotus.

[@spacenomad7359]

What does the red amongst the white signify?

[@Blazetraxdj]

Would like to know that as well :p

[@danadane827]

True artist.... this sounds amazing!❤

[@mic1029]

14:01 Kassa looked at J. Hoard expectantly and he responded beautifully. His falsetto is so emo I can't stop getting goosebumps. 16:05 ✊x✊

[@antontzonev8104]

Amazing

[@islandmanmikep]

World class.

[@mikoajolpinski599]

Wow this stuff is fresh

[@francescomontagna9293]

Siete fantastici, composizione complessa, fusione di linguaggi, braviiiii

[@waynedexter]

It would do a grave disservice to pigeonhole this music into any specific genre. Plain and simple it’s just transcendent art. It also challenging and cerebral, and I’m here for it

[@bennettkirschner1585]

I'm obsessed.

[@flymomabug]

gorgeous, thank you!

[@SageOfTruth1111]

Wow! 🙌🏽❤

[@西村隆志-k5x]

Very very cool.

[@sandrobianchi3377]

blows my mind!

[@ChrisJones-pl1lq]

Wow, truly amazing!!

[@OtsileM]

Jenn's Terrific Vacation brought me here and I'm thankful

[@atuaaaa6769]

[@MrLolo13666]

Il y a bien longtemps que je n'avais pas autant frissonné...

[@siphesihlebuthelezi9184]

J Hoard 😫🔥

[@ferdinandodavascio]

music, to give the right space to time and the right time to space, like flowers do, like birds do..

[@InspiredByEbonyLove]

Omg!! I want the instrumental version of all of this too! 🥹💕

[@stephenshade1427]

Absolute killllah. Boy, just gone to the top of my must see list 🔥🙏

[@Zayleechannel]

Jazz at its finest

[@curtis5686]

Incredible performance!!👏✌️🌟🎶

[@harper7509]

FLUSHED.

[@tiasokol4118]

Kassa!

[@ayanadrayne8166]

I'm really bugged out, that I'm just learning of them. My Gawd.

[@jeremytaktouk8764]

J. Hoard is a beast, saw this man in Paris by chance during a jam, I was mind blowing

[@tremoxo]

Nick Hakim yeah!

[@swinehorde9118]

New fan here. Came straight here from the new Danny Brown song 'Jenn's Terrific Vacation'.

[@alexd.2504]

Tomoki is so slay

[@AntonyNorthcutt]

Kassa just gets it :)
