The Epic

Brainfeeder

The celebrated three-hour set of this close collaborator of Flying Lotus and Kendrick Lamarr.
Two drummers, two bassists, two keyboardists, trumpet, trombone and vocals, plus string orchestra and full choir.
‘The music reflects many inspirations — John Coltrane, Horace Tapscott’s Pan-African People’s Arkestra, Azar Lawrence’s Prestige period, Donald Byrd’s and Eddie Gale’s jazz and choir explorations, Pharoah Sanders’ pan global experiments, Afro-Latin jazz, spiritual soul, and DJ culture… It challenges the cultural conversation about jazz without compromising or pandering’ (AllMusic).
