A powerful new number by the great American jazz saxophonist, tumultuously dynamic, with writhing solos and a main theme that centres of the chaos of our times, and the struggle to get to grips with it. Washington says of the record’s subject: “The world feels turned upside down. There’s so much push and pull in every direction, from everyone you meet – no one knows what to think, who to believe, or how to approach life right now. No matter how smart you are, it’s hard not to feel blind.” The song features many of his regular collaborators including Brandon Coleman, Allakoi Peete, Cameron Graves, Ronald Bruner Jr., and Miles Mosley. Below is also a live version that saw its debut performance on the Jimmy Fallon Show. Out on Young Records.
Bright minds
With dark eyes
Speak loud words
Tell sweet lies
Lost without a trace of a way
To get out of this misery
