Holy Shiate!!
I will not go on any further then to say Robert Glasper is truly the future of jazz. One foot firmly entrenched in classic jazz and the other completely versed in the contemporary catalog. Working with the gifted Vicente Archer and the sublime Damion Reid, I can't even begin to express how this album moved me. Fluid, smart, lurid, and so beautifully recorded, it's the first thing to move me since the chaotic solos of the Coltranesque Page Hamilton and before that the melodic yet brooding Dexter Gordon. His previous recordings, CANVAS, and MOOD, show his inevitable yet amazing journey. I would and will buy anything Glasper puts out.
