Robert Glasper的第三張前兩張台灣有代理找時間再介紹一下這位極本位主義的Jazz好手 ------------------------------ Pianist Robert Glasper’s third album for Blue Note, Double-Booked, following up Canvas (2005) and In My Element (2007), combines two distinct but interwoven concepts of jazz and hip hop. Career-wise, this creates a constant balancing act, and on occasion literally being double-booked, appearing with the Trio and the Experiment on the same night. Such is the storyline that emerges on Double-Booked, with conflicting voicemail messages from Terence Blanchard and Roots drummer Ahmir ?uestlove Thompson, each pulling for a different Glasper band. “Most people, if they have different bands, they do separate albums,” says Glasper. “But I felt I’d be making more of a statement if I put it all on one joint.” The result, in essence, is a snapshot of Glasper’s life. “This is what I’m dealing with,” he continues. “It’s not like I play jazz but I also play hip-hop now and then. I’m in it, for real, both sides of the spectrum. That’s my life. A lot of people go in stages— they might focus on trio for a long time, then they change or whatever. My thing is both, all the time.” The first six tracks on Double-Booked feature Glasper in Trio setting and the bottom six feature Glasper in an electric hip hop setting. Moving nimbly from the acoustic Robert Glasper Trio to the hip hop fusion Robert Glasper Experiment, the young keyboardist puts his versatility front and center. Guests include Bilal, Mos Def, Casey Benjamin, Jahi Sundance. Track List THE ROBERT GLASPER TRIO 1. Intro 2. No Worries 3. Yes I'm Country (And That's Ok) 4. Downtime 5. 59 South 6. Think of One- Glasper takes on a Thelonious Monk composition, and gets meta in his solo with layers of samples. Jazz and hip hop fans - listen for familiar chords. THE ROBERT GLASPER EXPERIMENT 7. 4eva 8. Butterfly- Radiohead style keys and the auto-tuned voice of Casey Benjamin make this a very progressive take on Herbie Hancock's classic from Thrust, the 1974 follow-up to Headhunters. 9. Festival 10. For You 11. All Matter- Bilal is featured on this track, making it a soul tune, but it still has all the disorder of jazz and improvisation. 12.
