ok, I'll start the convo...
Robert Glasper Trio's COVERED is really good. Like really really good. This is a trio recording live at Capital Studios to a small crowd. Basically, he takes some of the more experimental collaborations he did for his BLACK RADIO albums and strips them down for a trio.
I'm not familiar with his drummer Damion Reid but dude smokes. The drums on "I Don't Even Care" are frantic drum-n-bass and one has to wonder how he keeps it going. The track ends w/ a brief interpolation of The Roots' "you got me." It's awesome.
Glasper himself is insane. Like, you'll think "how can he do that w/ only 2 hands?" kind of stuff.
They also cover Radioheads' "Reckoner" and Musiq Soulchild's "So Beautiful" and tracks by John Legend and Bilal.
"In Case You Forgot" is a crazy 13 min... thing. I can't describe it. Part free jazz, part ballads, part modal decay.
LOUDER AND SEV WOULD BOTH BE INTERESTED TO KNOW that Glasper has played piano on Q-Tip's THE RENAISSANCE, and Kendrick's TPAB.
In fact this ends w a version of "Im dying of thirst"
Here's a vid of one of Jhane Aiko's "The Worst" from this performance:
