Ryan Porter was almost lost for words at the end of the night. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Favorite track: Strasbourg / St. Denis (Live).Taking part in every Kamasi Washington tour around the world since the release of The Epic on Flying Lotus' label Brainfeeder, this was Ryan Porter's first voyage into Europe with his own band, climbing a ladder he's spent decades preparing for. On Live in Paris at New Morning, the West Coast Get Down would explore various works from Ryan Porter's last two full-length albums (The Optimist & Force For Good), blending themes, vamps, and songs Ryan created on the road and at his home studio.Before diving into Porter's deep catalog, the WCGD would open the set with a homage to jazz giant and personal mentor to Ryan Porter, Roy Hargrove. They cover Hargrove's "Strasbourg / St. Denis," amplifying the original with their unique perspective on modern and vintage music. The energy cascades with great depth across the 81-minute live LP, providing ample space for extended solos from every player on the stage.
