Kamasi Washington is scheduled to perform at Higher Ground in Burlington, Vermont on June 29, 2026. Washington is a contemporary jazz saxophonist and composer known for his expansive, spiritually-infused music that blends elements of post-bop, modal jazz, funk, and hip-hop. His work often features large ensembles and extended improvisations, drawing on influences from artists like John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders while incorporating modern production techniques. 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.
