Robert Glasper: In My Element 2LP (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series)

Blue Note, 2007 Pianist Robert Glasper’s second Blue Note album reunites him with bassist Vicente Archer and drummer Damion Reid for an assured update of the jazz piano trio. There’s a wide variety of moods on offer; from the gorgeously hushed and slow-moving ballad “Tribute,” through the frenetic, quicksilver interplay of “G & B,” to the sweeping melodicism of “Of Dreams To Come.” While Glasper’s virtuosity is firmly rooted in the tradition of past masters, he’s also not afraid to take daring risks – as on his wildly imaginative medley interweaving Herbie Hancock’s classic “Maiden Voyage” with Radiohead’s “Everything In Its Right Place.” Tracklist & Credits - 2LP Tracklist A1: g & b A2: of dreams to come B1: f. t. b.
