Then the man himself side by side with Ryan Porter on Trombone. Sometimes they played almost as one then each going off into magnificent solos. Never about pyrotechnics, always about tone, build up to crescendo that climbed and climbed and climbed.
Taking you near to the top and then finding a new route, always complimenting the rest of the band pushing them to the highest of heights. Last but not least the fidgety Patrice Quinn. Tall and thin, continually twitching to notes, chords and inflections in the music. Twiddling her fingers playing some imaginary instrument in her head. When she sang though she started soft and gentle while the band quietly provided some colour in the background. Then as they began their long climb the power of her voice would grow and grow.
Every step they took she was there alongside and sometimes soaring above the sound. Yes, I had a fantastic evening. One of the best in while.
My first seated show at the Boulder Theater was nice because we had great seats in the Golden Circle, but it was also a little frustrating to be confined during a performance that had so much energy.
Looking around the room at a diverse crowd that included the young, the old, and even families with children in tow, exposed heads bopping, shoulders shaking, and feet tapping, but no one wanted to be the first to stand up. It was only between songs that standing ovations became the norm, but everyone returned to their seats when the band geared up for the next selection.
Washington spent most of the night in the center of the stage with his tenor sax, but every member of the Get Down was given multiple opportunities to shine. The spotlight came to Brandon Coleman early, as he worked the keys like a master during the second choice from The Epic. Though I have seen Kamasi several times he has a new keyboard player only 1 have seen him w Cameron Graves on acoustic piano and Brandon Coleman on electric keys.
With the Detroit River and Canada as a background a wonderful experience. The support act, playing music from the Siddi community originally South-East Africans who emigrated to India were interesting, and even more interesting when they brought Ricky Washington on as a soloist.
They had a lot of energy on almost all the numbers although I personally am not a fan of drum-solos either in jazz or in rock , so didn't really get off on that number. Without trying to reproduce the album sound with far fewer instrumentalists and vocalists , they did a good job in presenting energised versions of some of the album's best tracks. I say new as he'd toured with many great jazz artist before returning to his roots and forming a band from amongst his friends - and father.
Gospel Choir conducted by Jules Buckley who also conducted the recent Quincy Jones prom provided the same wonderous flavour as the album. The band played tight, very quiet initially before uilding up to a crescendo with some powerful drumming from the two drummers.
At the Royale in Boston Venue dudes I know Great sound, an attentive and attuned audience, subltke herbal vapors wafting in the air A truly amazing event.
Kamasi's sound ranged from exquisite gentleness to full on explosive force. The whole band were phenomenal including the two drummers cue drummer joke 'why did they have two drummers? Because the third one forgot to turn up An unforgettable night.
Incredible live show. Kamasi has an unusual stage setup that features the rhythm section, including two full drum kits and a stand-up bass, on raised platforms behind the rest of the band. This solidifies the driving feel of their style and provides an amazing bedrock for melodies, often atonal, that Kamasi and his company of talented featuring musicians amaze us with.

Ronald Bruner Jr. The two seasoned percussionists provided a thunderous canvas for bassist Ben Williams, a virtuoso who seemed to be a guardian of rhythm against the upper range of frequencies.
Washington was also joined by Brandon Coleman and Patrice Quinn on keys and vocals, respectively. Keyboardist Brandon Coleman, who is self-taught and has been touring with Washington for several years, takes a solo. Of course, a meal so perfect must have dessert.
As if playing in a Greenwich Village basement with a single overhead lightbulb, KeiyaA presented concertgoers with a gentle reminder that they are transcending the dimensions where music is not solely listened to but rather felt. Suddenly, the listener was no longer in the Upper West Side, but on a different plane of existence somewhere in between good and evil.
When given the recognition, Washington is a man that can find the light at the end of the tunnel with his eyes closed. His improvisation over complex harmonies and chord changes seem to be an allegory of life, one that shows us it is not a planned-out path, but rather one we find ourselves scuffling and wrestling with as we go. Washington takes a solo over his introduction to his Beacon Theatre set.
For Washington, the expedition continues. Your email address will not be published.
