He released the best jazz album of the last year, likes Ed Motta, javanese traditional music, anime and he's always trying to be a positive influence for kids and everyone that comes in touch with him... Such a great person. I admire him a lot.

He seems so well put-together. Very articulate, very down to earth, and also very diverse. It's cool when you see people like this in the music industry.

Please get more Jazz artists to Amoeba. It's so intresting to hear them talk about their sources of inspiration.

Jazz fans all over the world are praising this man ! I know that jazz isn't for everyone, it never was...but when the jazz bug bites you can't get enough of it...Watch all the old videos of Roland Kirk, Ornette Coleman, Sonny Stitt etc. and you see men who function on a whole other level ....Kamasi is on that journey !
