By the time the Trump administration moved its war games into high gear this week, Kamasi Washington, the tenor saxophonist, had already issued a counterstatement. He posted “Truth,” a 14-minute strafe of consonance, plurality and positivism, on his YouTube channel on Wednesday. If you’ve been to the Whitney Biennial, you may have already seen it; “Truth” is the last and longest piece from “Harmony of Difference,” Mr. Washington’s multimedia suite, on display there through June 11. There are two chords in the whole tune; you won’t hear knotty questions being posed or conflicts being parsed. It’s macro-musical pacifism — a liberation theology for fearsome times.
