Pianist Robert Glasper has evolve to be one of the most prolific voices in modern jazz, he returns to stir things up a bit with his forthcoming release on Blue Note Records titled “Black Radio.” With this endeavor, he defies the odds and serves up a twist of genre bending melodies and rhythms where the elements of jazz meets R&B, rock, and hip-hop sliced into equal portions matched to perfection by his unyielding, tasteful and trendsetting arrangements. —Rob Young | Urban Flux Media
