Gracefully navigating the zone where jazz and hip-hop converge, pianist Robert Glasper is a savvy improviser well-versed in, but not constrained, by jazz tradition. His work has attracted some of the era’s definitive R&B and hip-hop artists, including Mos Def, Kanye West, and Erykah Badu. He’s been equally productive in the jazz world, accompanying modern masters such as Roy Hargrove, Kenny Garrett, and Terence Blanchard. On 2009’s Double-Booked, Glasper employed his acoustic trio for half of the tracks before switching to an electric format (Robert Glasper Experiment) on the second half. The record ended up on many jazz critics’ Top 10 lists, further cementing Glasper’s reputation that year and beyond.

One Comment
Robert Glsper – the man is kool. Front row table in front of the piano and enjoyed every moment of the performance. My son celebrated his birthday and Robert made a few comments about him. I am sold on this man as a performer and his talent. Got to talk to him, plus the talented drummer and bassist after the show and got some pics. This show was worth waiting for and hope he comes back again with the new album release. Again another fine venue produced by the awesome folks at Jazz at the Bistro.
