Published

August 1, 2019

Virtuoso jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington will be performing in India for the very first time this month in Delhi and Mumbai. Kamasi will be joined by his 9-piece band that includes legendary musicians Ronald Bruner on Drums, Miles Mosley on Bass and Ryan Porter on Trombone among others, for a two-city tour. The tour has been organized by Mumbai based agency Third Culture.

When Kamasi Washington released his tour de force LP, The Epic, in 2015, it instantly set him on a path as our generation’s torchbearer for progressive, improvisational music that would open the door for young audiences to experience music, unlike anything they had heard before.
