Robert Glasper's Experiment Quartet
Blue note recording artist Robert Glasper is a brilliant pianist whose far-reaching vision spans the gap between hip-hop and jazz. New York Magazine states: “Glasper unfailingly gets the feeling right. His music is… direct, forceful, inventive, and accessible without pandering.” Glasper is a self-professed “musical mutt.” His sound is imbued with the Southern gospel sounds he was raised on, informed by his jazz training, and seeped with the Hip-hop sounds of his generation. He has shared the stage with Stevie Wonder, Q-Tip, Mos Def, Erykha Badu and the Roots, but has also toured with jazz giants Christian McBride, Russell Malone Kenny Garrett, Nicholas Payton, Roy Hargrove, Terence Blanchard, and Carmen Lundy. Glasper’s music is the face of the future.
