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 Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers Olympia Concert Jazz | Sam Records | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 17th March 2023 £65.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers Olympia Concert £65.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Sam Records SKU: SAM 680.202 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 17th March 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Shabaka Afrikan Culture Jazz | Impulse | 1LP Released 24th March 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Shabaka Afrikan Culture £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Impulse SKU: 4587239 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fire!
