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 Lonnie Liston Smith & The Cosmic Echos Visions Of A New World Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 20th February 2020 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lonnie Liston Smith & The Cosmic Echos Visions Of A New World £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PPAN BDL1-1196 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th February 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wayne Shorter Alegria Jazz | Universal Play 33 1/3 Series | 180g, 2LP Released 9th August 2024 £75.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wayne Shorter Alegria £75.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Universal Play 33 1/3 Series SKU: LP43114 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 9th August 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ronnel Bright Trio The Ronnel Bright Trio Jazz | Sam Records | 180g, 1LP Released 17th September 2021 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ronnel Bright Trio The Ronnel Bright Trio £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Sam Records SKU: 46106 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 17th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Björn Meyer Provenance Jazz | ECM | 1LP Released 15th September 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Björn Meyer Provenance £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 5768122 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charlie Haden & Pat Metheny Beyond The Missouri Sky (short stories) Jazz | Verve | 2LP Released 29th August 2018 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charlie Haden & Pat Metheny Beyond The Missouri Sky (short stories) £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 5383222 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 29th August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Moondog More Moondog Jazz | 4 Men With Beards | 180g, 1LP Released 30th August 2016 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Moondog More Moondog £27.00 Genre: Jazz Label: 4 Men With Beards SKU: 4M176LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 30th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Moor Mother Jazz Codes Jazz | Anti | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 29th July 2022 £20.00 - £25.00 Select options Moor Mother Jazz Codes £20.00 - £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Anti Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 29th July 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Cannonball Adderley Portraits In Jazz Live At The Half Note Jazz | Hi Hat | 1LP Released 10th March 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cannonball Adderley Portraits In Jazz Live At The Half Note £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Hi Hat SKU: HHLP3054 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kay Young and Venna and Marco Bernardis Feel Like Making Love / Where Are We Going?
