31.10. - Robert Glasper Experiment @ Festsaal X-Berg
26 October 2011
J.A.W goes live on October 31 for a very special one and presents - for the first time in Berlin - the amazing Robert Glasper & his Experiment.
With his new coming album 4th one, to be released early next year for the legendary Blue Note Records Label, the 32 year-old Houston native pianist is definitely recognized today as one of the most gifted musicians of this jazz/hip-hop era. His Band - The Experiment - is continually stretching the boundaries of jazz & hip-hop, often exploring i.e. new interpretations of genius Beat Maker J Dilla (RIP) or Radiohead songs.
If you´re lucky enough to catch him live in his hometown NYC or on the road, you won´t be surprised to see prestigious guests sharing the stage with the Experiment - such as Mos Def & Q-Tip (Glasper being their musical director), his mate Bilal, Pete Rock, Mf Doom, Pharoahe Monch or even Roy Ayers. His work with these musicians and legendary producer J Dilla has contributed to build his solid reputation as a jazz pianist with a strong hip-hop sensibility.
For this one, The Experiment will be consisted of Glasper himself on keys, the impressive Mark Colenburg on drums (Q Tip, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill - known for his ridiculous laid-back style like his mate Chris Dave) Derrick Hodge on Bass (composer/performer with hip hop lyricist Common Sense, Jill Scott, Maxwell, Terrance Blanchard�) & Casey Benjamin on alto saxophone & Vocoder.
