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 Sun Ra Heliocentric Worlds Vol 1 Jazz | ESP | 1LP Released 23rd March 2010 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sun Ra Heliocentric Worlds Vol 1 £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ESP SKU: LPESP1014 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd March 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charles Mingus The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady Jazz | Verve | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 23rd August 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charles Mingus The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 7757373 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 23rd August 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fred Wesley A Blow For Me, A Toot To You Jazz | Speakers Corner | 180g, 1LP Released 17th December 2021 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Fred Wesley A Blow For Me, A Toot To You £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Speakers Corner SKU: SD18214 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 17th December 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Pat Metheny Offramp Jazz | ECM | 180g, 1LP Released 20th March 2010 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pat Metheny Offramp £16.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 2727893 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th March 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Andrew Hill Black Fire Jazz | Blue Note Tone Poet | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 26th July 2019 £38.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Andrew Hill Black Fire £38.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note Tone Poet SKU: 7752021 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 26th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wes Montgomery The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery Jazz | Craft Recordings | 1LP Released 1st December 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wes Montgomery The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Craft Recordings SKU: 1860361 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Thelonious Monk Monk Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 5th January 2024 £31.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thelonious Monk Monk £31.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP3427C Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 5th January 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Belmondo Quintet & Stéphane Belmondo & Lionel Belmondo feat.
