Robert Glasper - In My Element - Available March 20th

New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Blue Note Records) - The release of pianist ROBERT GLASPER's major label debut CANVAS in 2005 signaled the arrival of a singular new voice in jazz. TIME magazine praised Glasper's "improvisational creativity and technical skill." PEOPLE magazine noted the album's "accessible melodies, tumultuous beats and bright lyricism," placing Glasper in a lineage with jazz icons Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea. VIBE magazine declared that Glasper's "remarkable debut shows why cats from Mos Def to Roy Hargrove have sought him out- proving that subtlety and soul are natural allies."

Now with the March 20th release of IN MY ELEMENT, Glasper fulfills the promise of his debut, featuring his remarkable trio with bassist Vicente Archer and drummer Damion Reid, and delving deeper into his hip-hop and gospel roots. IN MY ELEMENT includes seven new Glasper originals, as well as a tribute to the late, great hip-hop producer J Dilla, and a mash-up of Herbie Hancock's "Maiden Voyage" with Radiohead's "Everything In It's Right Place."
