The Robert Glasper Trio
Ten years after making his Blue Note debut—and following two GRAMMY-winning volumes of his critically and commercially successful R&B-oriented Black Radio albums—Robert Glasper has returned to his acclaimed acoustic jazz trio with bassist Vicente Archer and drummer Damion Reid, who formed the original trio featured on Glasper’s first two Blue Note albums: Canvas (2005) and In My Element (2007). “A star for his R&B and hip-hop work, Robert Glasper here applies his elegant jazz skills with an all-acoustic trio to an inviting tracklist that was mostly written to be sung,” wrote The Guardian in a glowing 4-star review of their latest recording.
