The fact that this 55-year-old recording is the year’s most significant jazz release
Is it the year's most significant jazz release this year though?
Kamasi Washington charted in the main Billboard 200, and thanks to the strength of Heaven and Earth, Washington's year old Harmony of Difference is climbing back up the ranks as well. He's selling out ~3k size venues across the country on the strength of that album, too, playing to young and old fans alike.
