    "We eventually managed to find them near Biskupin, where demonstrations of prehistoric farming are organized. These oxen couldn't be transported to anywhere else, so we had to built the entire studio around them. A scene that lasted twenty-something seconds took us a year and a half to prepare."

    There will not be a better album this year.



    The word "epic" sits cheerily amid the most overused hyperbole of our age. Teenage bros proclaim their recent "pretty epic" mild successes; sports commentators call anything which ends dramatically an "epic game"; the Internet-literate are quick to point out an "epic FAIL." But what else do you call a three-CD, nearly three-hour album anchored by a 10-piece jazz band, featuring a 32-piece orchestra and 20-member choir, and driven by the daydream of an imaginary martial arts grandmaster?

    The Epic is the title of the new recording from 34-year-old saxophonist and composer Kamasi Washington, a musician you may have heard but not heard of. That's his horn all over the newest releases by fellow Southern Californians Kendrick Lamar and Flying Lotus. (The Epic is being issued by Brainfeeder, the record label Lotus co-founded.) Washington has toured with Snoop Dogg, Raphael Saadiq and Chaka Khan; his jazz credentials include work with elders like Gerald Wilson, Stanley Clarke and Kenny Burrell. The singing electric bassist Thundercat (Stephen Bruner) and his brother, drummer Ronald Bruner Jr., are lifelong friends; in fact, Washington has known most of his bandmates since high school in in South Central Los Angeles.

    I listened to The Epic in its entirety last night.

    Not only will it be the best album of the year, it is simply one of the best albums I've ever heard.

    A monumental artistic achievement of which I know of very few equals.

    I just saw that Kamasi Washington record listed really high on rateyourmusic.com. It's rare to see a new jazz album on those lists so it piqued my interests.

    So is the new Sufjan Stevens the album Benji should have been? Discuss.

    Grabbed up the Washington album a few days ago when you brought it to my attention, and then I started seeing notices of it all over the interwebs. Looking forward to spending some time with it today.

    The Clair de Lune interpretation is gorgeous.

    This might be the best synthesizer album of all time.

    Definitely need to find time for the new Marconi Union, but I think I'm in love with this from Dreadnought:
