Jazz pianist Robert Glasper is all set to make his much-anticipated return to Australia in August 2024. The five-time Grammy Award-winner will headline concerts in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney.
Glasper is celebrated not only for his jazz mastery, but also for his work in R&B, hip-hop, neo-soul, and fusion jazz. He has collaborated with a wide range of artists, including Mac Miller, Anderson Paak, Banks, Herbie Hancock, Denzel Curry, Q-Tip, and Talib Kweli.
Robert Glasper – ‘So Beautiful’
In addition to his Grammy success, which includes 12 nominations, Glasper has also won an Emmy Award for his contribution to Ava DuVernay’s documentary ’13th’ alongside Common and Karriem Riggins. He also received a Peabody Award for his composition for ‘Mr. Soul!’.
His music influence extends beyond music. His 2022 album, ‘Black Radio 3’, which features Killer Mike, H.E.R., Meshell Ndegeocello, and Ty Dolla Sign, is a powerful statement on black love and societal change. The album won the Best R&B Album at the 2023 Grammys.
Robert Glasper said. “Black lives matter and so does black love,”No one wants a life without love, but we have generations in our community who haven’t had the tools to be in healthy relationships. People are starting to recognize systemic racism and its impact on our relationships. We need to discuss how it affects our communication, self-perception, and interactions.”
Tickets for Robert Glasper’s concerts will go on sale from 10 am (local time) on June 5. Don’t miss the chance to experience this extraordinary artist live.
