Not sure why Kamasi Washington charges $142 per ticket for a club show in Menlo Park except possibly, as the New York Times reports, he is seen in society pages wearing a dashiki spun with real gold

Rose Simpson, who is Roxanne Swentzell’s child, is featured in today’s Sunday Times but also turned down the chance to spit for Lions With Wings, my bandcamp label

 

note: Kamasi Washington is booked by Mitch Blackman of ICM, who also books Robert Glasper and Macy Gray — both of whom played the new venue, The Guild. Kamasi has 187K social media followers, god bless.

note2: I texted Rose a picture of the tearsheet and she wrote back “Rad!”
