I didn't realize Kamasi Washington is on Ninja Tune!

They had a predilection for releasing zillions of compilation albums with heavily overlapping track lists, which kind of fatigued me on the label, but I'm still fond of the early releases of theirs that I bought.

Actually I think he's on flying lotus's label, which ninja tune distributes or something like that, which may be the case with some of these others too. The alt-electronic/jazz/hip-hop/fusion label situation right now is way beyond my ability to comprehend. But I still see the ninja tune logo on a lot of vinyl that I like.
