SUMMARY:ROBERT GLASPER
DESCRIPTION:Robert Glasper is the leader of a new sonic paradigm with a c
 areer that bridges musical and artistic genres. To date\, he boasts 5 Gr
 ammy wins and 15 nominations across 9 categories\, an Emmy Award for his
  song for Ava Duvernay’s critically hailed documentary “13th” with Commo
 n and Karriem Riggins\, and a Peabody Award for his Composition of “Mr. 
 Soul!”. His work and accolades bridge all aspects of the music business\
 , from live touring to film scoring\, composing and producing. Evolution
  is his hallmark. Glasper’s breakout crossover album Black Radio changed
  the face of the genre and set a new expectation for what popular music 
 could be. The album won him the Grammy for Best R&B album and establishe
 d him as the musician of choice for some of the world’s most iconic arti
 sts\; notably playing keys throughout Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterf
 ly\, winning another Grammy for the elastic track “These Walls”. The ong
 oing Black Radio series has since become Glasper’s calling card\, uphold
 ing a place at the heart of a trailblazing community: from long-time son
 ic brothers Mos Def and Bilal\, to legends including Ledisi\, Lupe Fiasc
 o\, Kanye West\, Jill Scott\, and Erykah Badu. Glasper’s eternal pursuit
  to further his sound has been consistent in challenging and transformin
 g his creative horizons across the board. Whether producing a remix albu
 m with Kaytranda or as a bandleader\, Robert consistently defies the lim
 its of the genre. This is evident in a portfolio that ranges from his ac
 oustic jazz trio\, which simultaneously defies and elevates the traditio
 nal idiom by uniting it effortlessly with electronics from visionary DJ 
 Jahi Sundance\, to August Greene\, a collaboration with Common + Karriem
  Riggins\, to R+R=Now\, a supergroup at the crossroads of hip-hop and Ja
 zz. In the past year\, Robert Glasper has released three diverse albums 
 under his exclusive deal with Apple Music. The holiday album In December
  features artists such as Cynthia Erivo and Andra Day\, while Let Go off
 ers a calming\, soulful experience that helps listeners find their cente
 r. Code Derivation merges jazz and hip-hop\, with each track presented i
 n two versions—one in jazz\, and the other flipped by a producer. The tr
 ack “Say Less” was flipped by Glasper’s son\, Riley. Code Derivation has
  been nominated for a 2025 Grammy in the Best Alternative Jazz Album cat
 egory. In addition to his musical accomplishments\, Glasper hosted Black
  Radio Backstage for Tidal League\, where he interviewed A-list guests l
 ike Affion Crockett\, Thundercat\, and Lalah Hathaway\, alongside co-hos
 t Jahi Sundance. The festival he curates in Napa\, The Black Radio Exper
 ience\, celebrated its third year\, and his legendary month-long residen
 cy at the Blue Note NYC marked its sixth season\, featuring star-studded
  appearances from Dave Chappelle\, Questlove\, Marsha Ambrosius\, and An
 dra Day\, both on and off stage. Prior to a knockout 2024\, in 2023 Glas
 per released Black Radio III and Black Radio III Supreme Edition on Loma
  Vista Records\, with features ranging from Jennifer Hudson\, Killer Mik
 e\, and the late Mac Miller. On screen\, he created the original score f
 or Run The World Season 2 and The Best Man television series. With bound
 less innovation and elite technique as his signature\, it’s no surprise 
 that Glasper has an avalanche of accolades\, awards\, and achievements t
 o his name. Glasper is an artist at the heart of a moment - and a moveme
 nt - to champion Black music\, Black people\, and the possibility of a b
 etter future. The hip-hop-head-nod ballad is a dedication to just that: 
 the beauty and brilliance of a heritage that is as much Kendrick as it i
 s Coltrane\, and which seeks to empower and uplift with every offering. 
 In his own words: “Black lives matter and so does black love\; no one wa
 nts a life without love\, but we have generations of people in our commu
 nity who haven’t had the tools to actually be in healthy relationships. 
 It seems like people are finally ready to open their eyes to systemic ra
 cism in this country\, and if we’re going to talk about it\, we have to 
 also talk about how it affects our relationships — how we communicate\, 
 how we see ourselves\, how we treat each other. It’s not always good\, e
 ven though maybe it could be.” - Robert Glasper\n\nTickets: https://www.
