by Kamasi Washington

The Epic cover art

A monumental, three-hour-long triple album that revitalized spiritual jazz for a new generation. 'The Epic' is a sprawling, ambitious work that blends the cosmic explorations of John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders with the sounds of funk, soul, and hip-hop. Featuring a massive orchestra and choir, the music is powerful, cinematic, and deeply spiritual. Its release on the influential electronic label Brainfeeder brought a new, young audience to jazz and made Kamasi Washington a global star.
