Pure Class: Robert Glasper Experiment

Robert Glasper


I’ve reviewed Robert Glasper before so I won’t say much. Except that his latest album, Black Radio is the best new release to come out since his last one (2009’s Double Booked). It’s testament to the pianist and his three-man band that they managed to fill the soulless Barbican Hall with such a complete sound that you could almost forget that you were in the cavernous space. Playing for close to three hours, it was such an intimate and transcendent experience that RCDC (or RCDM, in this case) could have played for another three and no one would have minded. The show was recorded for BBC Radio 3 so check it out when it airs in early June.
