Robert Glasper: The Future of American Piano Jazz
By Teresa | Filed Under After Work | Start a Discussion
I finally had a chance to listen to 28 year-old rising American jazz star Robert Glasper. His interview is part of a PODCAST from Q with Jian Ghomeshi.
Listen to an incredible set at NPR: “Born and raised in Houston, pianist Robert Glasper literally grew up in jazz clubs. His mother performed with a jazz band, and she preferred to bring her young son with her, rather than leave him with a sitter. Glasper and his mother were also active in music at their church — his mother sang and played piano, and by age 12, her son had assumed some of the piano duties.”
One cool cat…
