About Robert Glasper
Robert Glasper grew up in Houston, where his mother sang in church, and studied at the city's High School for the Performing and Visual Arts before moving to New York to attend the New School. He records for Blue Note, and the first Black Radio album won a Grammy for Best R&B Album.
Much of his work runs through bands and collaborations. The Robert Glasper Experiment, with Casey Benjamin on vocoder and saxophone, carried his mix of jazz harmony and hip-hop rhythm on the road. He also formed August Greene with Common and Karriem Riggins, played in Dinner Party alongside Terrace Martin and Kamasi Washington, and produced music for the Miles Davis film Miles Ahead.
