Kamasi Washington joins host Stephen Kallao

Kamasi Washington is one of the biggest names in contemporary jazz. He calls his third album, Fearless Movement a “dance record,” but he views dance as movement and expression. It features appearances from George Clinton, BJ the Chicago Kid, Thundercat, and Andre 3000. Kamasi Washington joins World Cafe to talk about how fatherhood has changed his priorities, and we’ll hear a special live performance recorded in Philadelphia.

Listen to the session here.
