We’re now able offer it widely available to physical retail! Is there anything to be done with carols like “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” and “Joy to the World” that hasn’t been done in the past 300 years? If there is, Grammy-winning pianist, composer, and producer Robert Glasper is the kind of artist to do it. “I like covering songs that people know well,” Glasper tells Apple Music. “That’s what I’ve done throughout my whole career.” It’s true: As a jazz pianist, he’s obviously learned his way around making classics his own, whether they were written by Mongo Santamaría or Kurt Cobain. But, he says, “The biggest challenge in making a holiday album was trying to do it in a way that feels festive but at the same time feels real and not corny.” He succeeds on both fronts on In December, his holiday album that mixes classic carols with a set of originals, and which was recorded in Spatial Audio. Part of what keeps it credible is the fact that Glasper’s hiphop/R&B/jazz fusion is done on a compositional level instead of just a cosmetic one (no collages of sampled sax solos and drum loops here). The covers reveal a lot about his musical worldview: Sung by Tony winner Cynthia Erivo (The Color Purple), “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” is turned into dark, airy neo-soul, while “Joy to the World”—sung by Alex Isley—feels like a Stevie Wonder ballad. But the originals reveal even more. “The intention for this album was less about Christmas songs and more about songs that feel good during the holidays,” Glasper says. “I stayed away from thinking too much about Christmas and its traditional lingo, and concentrated on real things people go through during the holiday season.” Artist Robert Glasper Genre Jazz Label Concord Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings TBA Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Robert Glasper and more from Jazz View Product Quick View Robert Glasper In My Element (Classic Vinyl Series) Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 2LP Released 16th June 2023 £35.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Robert Glasper In My Element (Classic Vinyl Series) £35.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 5507716 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 16th June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Robert Glasper Black Radio III Jazz | Concord | 2LP Released 25th February 2022 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Robert Glasper Black Radio III £30.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Concord SKU: 7240031 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 25th February 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Robert Glasper Fuck Yo Feelings Jazz | Concord / Loma Vista | 2LP Released 7th February 2020 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Robert Glasper Fuck Yo Feelings £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Concord / Loma Vista SKU: LVR859 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 7th February 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Robert Glasper Canvas Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 2LP Released 10th May 2019 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Robert Glasper Canvas £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 7743600 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 10th May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ganavya like the sky I’ve been too quiet Jazz | Native Rebel Recordings | 1LP Released 5th April 2024 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ganavya like the sky I’ve been too quiet £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Native Rebel Recordings SKU: NRR8LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dinah Washington Back To The Blues Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 24th June 2016 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Dinah Washington Back To The Blues £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PPANSR25189 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 24th June 2016 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Kenny Dorham Una Mas Jazz | Blue Note | 1LP Released 13th September 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kenny Dorham Una Mas £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 7764740 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tommy Peltier featuring Judee Sill Chariot Of Astral Light Jazz | Mapache | 1LP Released 27th January 2017 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tommy Peltier featuring Judee Sill Chariot Of Astral Light £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Mapache SKU: MAPA0011LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Yuko Mabuchi Plays Miles Davis Volume 2 (180g 45rpm LP) Jazz | Yarlung Records | 180g, 1LP, 45rpm Released 11th June 2024 £46.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Yuko Mabuchi Plays Miles Davis Volume 2 (180g 45rpm LP) £46.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Yarlung Records SKU: YARLP45591-45 Formats: 180g, 1LP, 45rpm Released Date: 11th June 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eddie Harris The In Sound Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 29th May 2020 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Eddie Harris The In Sound £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: SD11448 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 29th May 2020 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Dirty Dozen Brass Band Whats Going On Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 15th January 2013 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dirty Dozen Brass Band Whats Going On £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PPSF10178 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 15th January 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davis The Musings Of Miles Jazz | Concord | 1LP Released 2nd June 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis The Musings Of Miles £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Concord SKU: 7235122 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd June 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View J.
