About event
ROBERT GLASPER
The American jazz pianist, composer and producer Robert Glasper is considered an absolutely exceptional artist who, through his political commitment, is heard far beyond the borders of the music world. The Grammy winner returns to Germany for two exclusive shows in November.
Lifeblood, passion, soul, an artistic repertoire that is second to none and one of the most important voices for contemporary Afro culture - we are talking about none other than Robert Glasper.
The music sensation's Grammy record leaves no questions unanswered: eleven categories, twelve nominations and five awards. An Emmy can also be found in its ever-growing number of prizes and awards. But that's not all, because Robert Glasper's artistic work touches all areas of the music world. Live shows, film compositions and productions with and for other artists. Apparently no matter what the Texan native is crowned with success. His Black Radio albums pushed and redefined the boundaries of R&B. His collaborations with greats such as George Clinton, Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, Kaytranada, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Hiatus Kaiyote, Mac Miller and Flying Lotus regularly cause a sensation in the music press. In addition to his award-winning music productions, rousing live shows and his widely acclaimed film music, as a giant of the jazz scene and Afro culture, he loudly uses his voice to campaign for equal rights and equal opportunities for Afro minorities.
Like a common thread, his entire artistic work is run through by one constant: evolution. The refusal to stand still. A constant striving for change, rethinking, creative growth. The rejection of genre boundaries can be seen as a central characteristic in Robert Glasper's breathtaking repertoire. His music sounds like a multi-layered, complex, but still incredibly approachable and accessible specialty that floats somewhere between jazz, R&B, soul and hip-hop. This diversity is underpinned by an unmistakable hope for an open, colorful society whose beauty is found in diversity.
