Experience Kamasi Washington live on November 5th

Kamasi Washington is scheduled to perform at City Winery Philadelphia on November 5, 2026. Washington is a contemporary jazz saxophonist and composer known for his expansive, spiritually-infused music. His work blends elements of post-bop jazz with funk, soul, and hip-hop influences, often featuring large ensembles and extended improvisations. He gained widespread recognition with the release of his critically acclaimed 2015 album *The Epic*, a three-part suite exploring themes of cosmic consciousness and Black American history. Subsequent releases include *Heaven and Earth* (2018) and *Fearless Movement* (2023), continuing his exploration of complex musical arrangements and socially conscious themes.

Opened in 2019, it's part of a chain founded by Michael Dorf originally established in New York City in 2008.
