WATCH: Kamasi Washington's NPR Music "Tiny Desk Concert"

Kamasi Washington, who recently delivered a fiery closing set at Newport Jazz Festival, brought his Grammy-nominated wizardry to NPR Music's Tiny Desk. He delivered tracks from three of his albums, ranging from the high energy to the subdued, all while holding the audience in his dextrous palms. 

The engineering is always on point at the "Tiny Desk," and Kamasi's visit is no exception, faithfully capturing ace musicians joined together in a "tiny" space but capable of transporting the audience to another plane. Enjoy the trip.
