It'd be a bit easy to use the word "Epic" here.

If, like me, you’re hoping for a Pee-Wee Ellis-Fred Wesley-Maceo Parker reunion on stage, you think George Clinton is not only about sense of style, and you’re still wondering what sort of dance was Thelonious Monk performing during his shows, you probably also have ended up in Queen Margaret Union on the 27th of June for Kamasi Washington’s gig.

If you felt like me about the evening, you don’t regret the time you spent on the queue to get in.

Thanks to his collaboration with Kendrick Lamar on To Pimp a Butterfly, the tenor saxophonist has been brought to a wider audience. When you may think jazz is not your cup of tea, you might change your mind with Kamasi Washington and his band. Genuinely inscribed in the jazz tradition, their music also plays with funk influence and the result is often soul and groovy. 

And if you were there, you’re certainly still nodding when you recall that fantastic two drums solo. 

At the very beginning, I really liked the Art School.

So at first it might seem like I haven’t thought this trough.

«  And so why are you going to Glasgow ? ».

« Well I went to Scotland during a high school trip and I had a good feeling about that city ».

Then I got there and I knew I was right. 
Is that man really performing MC Hammer’s hit on bongos topless in the street ?!

It didn’t get easier to answer people’s questions though.

«  So what d’you do? »

«  Well, I’m not sure actually...»

But now that I’m an intern for The List -which is almost as exciting as that U Can’t Touch This cover- I thought I’d better start finding -beginning of- answers. 

While I’m thinking I’d also better be writing some of this existentialist quest down.
