"The Epic (Brainfeeder) is a 172-minute, three-volume cd's set that includes a 32-piece
orchestra, a 20-person choir, and 17 songs overlaid with a compositional
score written by Washington. Pulsing underneath is an otherworldly
ten-piece band, each member of which is individually regarded as among
the best young musicians on the planet – including bassist Thundercat
and his brother, drummer Ronald Bruner Jr., bassist (yes, there are two)
Miles Mosley, drummer Tony Austin (of course there are two), keyboard
player Brandon Coleman, pianist Cameron Graves, and trombonist Ryan
Porter. Patrice Quinn’s ethereal vocals round out the ensemble."
