Robert Glasper

About

Robert Glasper is, by now, one of the rare contemporary musicians whose name is ubiquitous in the jazz world. The pianist and bandleader grew up worshiping at the feet of keyboard masters like Ahmad Jamal and Herbie Hancock, then cutting his teeth alongside icons of the neo-soul/hip-hop era of the early 2000s like Common and The Roots. He’s equally comfortable laying down punchy, post-bop jazz standards as he is crafting sensuous, spiritual grooves with his plugged-in band The Experiment.
