Culture Closeup: Celebrating Black Creators

Robert Glasper is an American jazz pianist, composer, arranger, and record producer. Born on 6 April 1978 in Houston, Texas, USA, he has established himself as a prominent figure in the jazz scene. With his own Robert Glasper Experiment and various other jazz groupings, Glasper has recorded as a band leader. His unique style and innovative approach to music have earned him comparisons to artists such as Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah, Esperanza Spalding, and Roy Hargrove.

Glasper's musical talent extends beyond just playing the piano. As a composer and arranger, he brings a fresh perspective to his compositions by blending elements of jazz with other genres like hip-hop and R&B. This fusion of styles creates a dynamic sound that appeals to both traditional jazz enthusiasts and contemporary music lovers.

With numerous albums under his belt as both a solo artist and collaborator with other musicians, Glasper has received critical acclaim for his work. He has been recognized with several awards including Grammy Awards for Best R&B Album (Black Radio) and Best Traditional R&B Performance (Jesus Children).

Robert Glasper is a premiere example of musical aptitude and a proven champion of Black music - boasting nine Grammy nominations and four wins for Best R&amp;B Album, Best R/B Song, Best Traditional R&amp;B Performance, and Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media, and an Emmy Award for his song for Ava Duvernay’s critically hailed documentary “13th” with Common and Karriem Riggins. The 43-year old Houston native has a rich history contributing his artistry across both music and film, all the while carrying a consistent cultural message. In 2012, Glasper delivered his album Black Radio that hit the scene as the first album in history to debut in the top 10 of 4 different genre charts simultaneously: Hip Hop R&amp;B, Urban Contemporary, Jazz and Contemporary Jazz. The feat was then repeated by Black Radio 2. The ongoing Black Radio series has since become Glasper’s calling card, upholding a place at the heart of a trailblazing community: from long-time sonic brothers Mos Def and Bilal, to legends including Ledisi, Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, Jill Scott, and Erykah Badu.

Black Radio and Black Radio II are landmark albums that have shaped the genres of jazz, hip hop and r&amp;b for the past decade. Direct lines can be drawn to Kamasi Washington, Thundercat, Kendrick Lamar, and black music writ large.

For Black Radio III, 4-time grammy winner Robert Glasper cements his legacy as producer, curator and cultural icon. These collaborations range from the most powerful voices in contemporary black music (Killer Mike, ty dolla $ign, D Smoke, PJ Morton) to the most important lyricists and performers of the past 30 years (Jennifer Hudson, Ledisi, Common, Gregory Porter, Musiq Soulchild, India.Arie)

Black Radio III is also a statement for these times. It is Glasper’s most direct statement of the frustration and opportunity of a world disrupted by social change. It is at once beautiful, powerful and innovative.
