Since 2011, Saxophonist and composer Kamasi Washington, 34, has been working on releasing his now three-CD, nearly three-hour, choir-and-strings-assisted album aptly titled The Epic. Jazz Night In America features Washington and music from The Epic -- the first live, full-ensemble culmination -- at its release party at the Regent Theater in Downtown L.A. We get to know Washington though learning about his ties to L.A. jazz history, his musical upbringing, and the dreams that inspire his music.
Kamasi Washington's, "The Epic" on Sunday's Jazz Night In America at 5 PM
