KAMASI WASHINGTON: YOUNG JAZZ GIANT

KAMASI WASHINGTON: YOUNG JAZZ GIANT

Kamasi Washington was born in Los Angeles at the start of the 80s into a family where music was akin to breathing. His mother, an accomplished flutist, taught chemistry in high school, and his father, who plays with him in some concerts, was a professional saxophonist by night and high school music teacher by day. By two years old, Kamasi had already started playing the drums and the piano, and by seven he started playing the clarinet.
