Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. Here is the extremely stellar sophomore album from the soon-to-be jazz legend Kamasi Washington. Stylistically, it sounds similar to his debut The Epic (also incredible) which unquestionably fulfills its promises upon seeing the album cover and reading the title. A wide-range jazz orchestra with an accompanied choir that completely transcends Washington's work above any other jazz musician or band of today. This album is, by all means, heavenly. While jazz may not be the most digestible form of music for a casual listener, I recommend listening to this album one disc at a time (same thing with The Epic as it is a 3 hour album).
I also added The Choice EP since it can be found hidden within the packing for Heaven and Earth, which is honestly a really really really cool surprise. It is considered a companion piece to the album, so I also recommend listening to it after you've listened to the album.
