About this product
The wedding of Louis XIV with the Infanta of Spain, on 9 June 1660, was an exceptional event, sealing the peace between two monarchies that had been opposed for centuries. The 21-year-old King set off on a journey lasting thirteen months to cross and discover his kingdom 15,000 people and 8,000 horses, 3,200 km in 95 stages, culminating in a wedding in Saint Jean de Luz! The greatest festivities took place during the wedding ceremony, then on the journey of their Majesties, for their solemn entry into Paris and finally for the opera given in the Louvre in honor of the bride and groom! The finest composers contributed to the celebrations the King's trumpets opened the concert, while the church galleries hosted Du Mont's symphony, organ and motets; finally, the most beautiful excerpts from Cavalli's Xerxes and Lully's accompanying ballets celebrated the Royal Wedding of Louis XIV through opera. Vincent Dumestre brings to life the musical splendors of the wedding of the century!

The band are all from Los Angeles, mostly South Central, and it's members - who call themselves variously InchThe Next StepInch and the InchThe West Coast Get DownInch - have been congregating since they were barely teenagers in a backyard shack in Inglewood. The story The Epic tells, without words but rather though some combination of magic, mastery, and sheer force of imagination, the story of Kamasi Washington and the Next Step and their collective mission to remove jazz from the shelf of relics and make it new, unexpected, and dangerous again.
