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 Stan Getz/Charlie Byrd Jazz Samba Jazz | Analogue Productions | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 1st July 2013 £58.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Stan Getz/Charlie Byrd Jazz Samba £58.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AVRJ843245 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 1st July 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Archie Shepp Black Ballads – 45th Anniversary Edition Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 29th April 2022 £31.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Archie Shepp Black Ballads – 45th Anniversary Edition £31.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2954 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 29th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wayne Shorter Odyssey of Iska (Tone Poet) Jazz | Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 5th July 2024 £35.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wayne Shorter Odyssey of Iska (Tone Poet) £35.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note SKU: 3896360 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 5th July 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gilles Peterson Magic Peterson Sunshine Jazz | MPS | 2LP Released 15th April 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gilles Peterson Magic Peterson Sunshine £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: MPS SKU: 0210881MS1 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 15th April 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View McCoy Tyner Trio Bon Voyage Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 6th October 2023 £42.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders McCoy Tyner Trio Bon Voyage £42.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP3497C Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 6th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Archie Shepp Fire Music Jazz | Verve | 1LP Released 23rd August 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Archie Shepp Fire Music £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 7757384 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd August 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Landgren, Wollny, Danielsson, Haffner 4 Wheel Drive Jazz | ACT | 1LP Released 15th March 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Landgren, Wollny, Danielsson, Haffner 4 Wheel Drive £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACT98751 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View e.s.t.
