This was wholesome to read. I have heard your music in a radio station of my city which is dedicated to jazz and that's why I got to know 'Kamasi Washington'. I fell in love with jazz music thanks to Cowboy Bebop when I was around 14 so I never ever imagined reading 'Kamasi and 'Watanabe' in the same article. It was a huge but well received surprised when the news came out! I hope Lazarus make more people love jazz as Yoko Kano did for me back then.

I think this is the coolest thing. I'm such a fan of Bebop and its music. Now to have the great Kamasai Washington onboard with Lazarus is really exciting.

That's great! Your music, videos, even the notes in the album sleeve all have the same kind of story-rich cinematic adventure qualities that Watanabe's work does. Would love to hear some of your songs drop when the anime enters that no-dialog-only-action-music-video part sometime

Kamasi Washington
Iโll never forget I was around 16 or 17 years old and my friend Jason let me borrow a copy of โMacross Plus The Movieโ on VHS!๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ I can vividly remember hearing the opening theme by Yoko Kanno and being totally captivated by how beautiful it was and then a few seconds later being totally blown away with the amazing opening action sequence of that film. I was instantly a fan! And then a few years later โCowboy Bebopโ came out and I was like yup Watanabe is the one! So when I got the news that he wanted me to be one of the composers for his new series I was beyond hype like completely in shock. Needless to say this project is like a dream come true for me. Thank you Shinโichirล Watanabe for inviting me to join you on this latest journey. Every note of this music comes from the deepest parts of my heart I hope you all enjoy it. ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ
