Kamasi Washington - Heaven and Earth

This is such an intensely spiritual album and yet I don't think it's even been mentioned on watmm yet, I love what this guy is doing at the moment.  Favorite track is Show Us The Way - first listen I was like WTF, this is the exact same piano motif as on Change of the Guard (opener to the Epic) - ever since it's been a cri everytiem situation
