Jazz pianist Robert Glasper's booming career has taken two different tracks. There's the Robert Glasper Trio, which is his more traditional acoustic ensemble dating to the early '00s featuring drummer Chris Dave and bassist Vicente Harper, and The Robert Glasper Experiment, which defies easy categorization. "Black music is the house that has many rooms," Glasper said in the label bio for the Robert Glasper Experiment's 2013 album, Black Radio 2. "Black people have invented so many dope genres that everyone loves: Jazz, blues, gospel, R&B, rock, hip-hop, and the list goes on. I'm just visiting all those rooms." The first Robert Glasper Experiment album, 2012's Black Radio, fused elements of jazz, R&B, and hip-hop, and teamed Glasper's group with guests including Ledisi, Erykah Badu, Lupe Fiasco, and Bilal. The combination proved a hit with both jazz and R&B fans, and won a Grammy for Best R&B Album. Glasper ventured further into the hip-hop and soul realm on Black Radio 2, which features guests including Common, Norah Jones, Snoop Dogg, and Jill Scott. Glasper and his band toured large clubs and theaters in 2013, getting kudos for their solid musicianship and diverse repertoire from both critics and from fans who bought tickets.
Yebba was great, awesome voice, great sound. Never heard of Robert but was excited to see him but his show was unacceptable, not pleased would never attend another show. The place was beautiful but show was awful.
The venue for this show was not good. Seats are really really close together and if you sit in QQ there is a long bar that impedes movement a lot. The sound quality was not good in this venue for this type of show. There was almost no help finding our seats. If you attend one of his Jam Sessions In the future do not attend it at this theater!
I loved everything about the show the artists were amazing.
The J Dilla tribute was only the tip of the iceberg for this astounding performance, along with the Duke Ellington tribute which was satisfying for my ears. The surprise guest were perfect and on point, the humor from the artist and the shared memories were comforting. Rip Dilla, rest in beats! De la Soul is the truth, felt great to be around hip hop and culture. Truly a brilliant experience and will see Glasper again in concert.
The show was absolutely amazing, I am a fan of his music so to see him in person was beyond amazing!!!!!!
I loved it, just wish the concert was longer and he played more of his hits
Robert spent entirely too much time talking, rambling and preaching between songs. The set was loosely organized and unprofessional, and felt more like a rehearsal. I'm not sure they even had a set list. After each number they seemed at a loss as to what to play next. The band was awesome, but they didnt get to play enough and seemed bored sitting around waiting for Robert to finish his sermon. I ran out of patience with his endless, boring banter anf I left before the show was over.
Clearly an off night. Uninspiring, disjointed, didn’t play any hits. I was more entertained by the supporting musicians. It’s disheartening when artists give 50% and think fans won’t know the difference or will just be accepting of their crumbs. I was insulted by his overall lack of effort. He hasn’t completely lost me as a listener, but I will never pay to see him again.
I absolutely love Rob G , his music has gotten me through so much.. I will be at the concert as well feel free to book 7 days for all phases of HAIRCARE! Natural hair as well.. Locs ect haircareon10.booksy.com
Ran behind 1.5-2 hours behind each night. Needs to improve on sound engineering and set switch timing. Left early 2 nights due to lack of organization
