Kamasi Washington Perform & Talk Jazz, Mainstream & Kendrick Lamar On Charlie Rose

If you listened to To Pimp A Butterfly, you've heard the work of masterful Kamasi Washington. Washington arranged the string sections and played saxophone for Kendrick Lamar's now ubiquitous third album. As well as appearing on the biggest album of 2015, Washington also released his debut album, The Epic, an expansive, three-hour success of his own, which made serious waves across both jazz and mainstream music media. 

Appearing on the Charlie Rose Show, Kamasi Washington played "ReRun," and "Rhythm Changes," from The Epic. Washington also sits down to discuss the expressive nature of jazz, why he's so in love with the genre and how jazz relates to today's mainstream music.

South Central native Kamasi Washington released one of the most critically-acclaimed albums of the year with The Epic, a three-volume set of genre-bending jazz. The saxophonist and composer leads an eight-piece band for this striking set of live music.
