6th Piano Jazz Sessions
Grammy Award-winning pianist and composer Robert Glasper celebrates the 20th anniversary of Canvas, his first acoustic trio album released on Blue Note Records.
After sessions by Herbie Hancock and Brad Mehldau, it is now Robert Glasper and his trio taking the stage for an acoustic performance as guests of the Fondation's Piano Jazz Sessions. Glasper’s music is bold, singular and in tune with today’s sounds, all reworked in his own style. Having grown up drenched in the blues, Glasper picks his themes based on his musical favourites, jazzifying hip-hop tracks, R&B hits and pop numbers with dazzling virtuosity, delighting audiences far and wide.
Sharing the spotlight with bassist Vicente Archer and drummer Damion Reid, Robert Glasper revisits the intimate form and free-spirited sound of his trio, a grouping he rarely features on tour. An exclusive concert that absolutely must not be missed!
