Make plans to join us on Friday, May 3rd when we open at 11:00 am to celebrate the release of Kamasi Washington’s Fearless Movement, out that day on vinyl & CD via Young Records. We’ll be spinning the album in the shop and communing with each other and the music. In addition, we’ll be giving away a prize via raffle and will be distributing party favors and sharing donuts with attendees. (Raffle tickets are free, must be present to win.) Hope to see you here!

Turning his attention to dance for his latest album, Fearless Movement Washington resumes his ongoing study of music as a means of connection. His 2015 album The Epic, as well as 2018’s Heaven and Earth were received by critics and audiences as a reimagination of modern jazz showcasing Washington’s larger-than-lift compositions full of celestial grandeur and his distinct blend of jazz, Latin, funk, classical, hip-hop and soul. Fearless Movement, however, offers something different: terrestrial rhythms and collaborations from rappers, musical icons and even Washington’s own daughter. Features include: Thundercat, Taj Austin, Ras Austin, Patrice Quinn, DJ Battlecat, Brandon Coleman, D-Smoke, George Clinton, Bj the Chicago Kid, and Andre 3000.
