Kamasi Washington and the Next Step, Scala, London
In being at Scala to see Kamasi Washington's unscheduled pop-up show when he and his band should've been playing in Paris, I heard echoes of the past and saw the present but it was the future that resonated loud and clear. Divine energy. A truly #epic performance by a superior, otherworldly band.

Pure Class: Robert Glasper Experiment
 |
| Robert Glasper |
I’ve reviewed Robert Glasper before so I
won’t say much. Except that his latest album, Black
Radio is the best new release to come out since his last one (2009’s Double Booked).
It’s testament to the pianist and his three-man band that they managed to fill the soulless Barbican
Hall with such a complete sound that you could almost forget that you were in the
cavernous space. Playing for close to three hours, it was such an intimate and
transcendent experience that RCDC (or RCDM, in this case) could have played for
another three and no one would have minded. The show was recorded for BBC Radio
3 so check it out when it airs in early June.
