With Kamasi Washington

Mary Anne Hobbs talks to jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington.

Jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington makes your Sunday morning special. Or unbearable. Depending on whether you can handle a little jazz.

Kamasi was born in LA in 1981. In 1999 he was the winner of the John Coltrane Music Competition. His tenor playing has been compared to the great Albert Ayler. He has played with the likes of Snoop Doog, Lauryn Hill, Nas, Chaka Khan, Flying Lotus and Kendrick Lamar, and his recent solo album 'The Epic' has been highly acclaimed.

Mary Anne is such a fan of his work that she made an entire radio show dedicated to him for the 大象传媒's jazz 'pop-up- temporary digital radio station. 大象传媒 Music Jazz ran on digital radio, online and mobile from 2pm on Thursday 12 November 2015 to midnight Sunday 15 November 2015.
