Also, Kasami's sound is more of a confluence of influences than people seem to see. There's nothing new in his style, but he does an excellent job of reflecting the work of an entire generation of classic saxophonists with keen improvisation instincts. It's a nostalgic record to me, but marketing it alongside To Pimp A Butterlfly was a smart move. I doubt the album is blasting from any low riders, but I think a lot of Kendrick Lamar fans at least investigated the record because of Washington's work on TPAB.
Still. Ain't no Revolution goin on. Not yet.
