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 Thelonious Monk Something in Blue Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 24th November 2009 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thelonious Monk Something in Blue £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: BLPP30119 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 24th November 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Peggy Lee Essential Works 1941-1960 Jazz | Masters Of Jazz | 2LP Released 22nd April 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Peggy Lee Essential Works 1941-1960 £23.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Masters Of Jazz SKU: MOJ119 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 22nd April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Brother Jack McDuff Moon Rappin’ (Classic Vinyl Series) Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 20th May 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Brother Jack McDuff Moon Rappin’ (Classic Vinyl Series) £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 4535205 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mal Waldron with Eric Dolphy & Booker Ervin The Quest (Original Jazz Classics Series) Jazz | Craft Recordings | 180g, 1LP Released 27th September 2024 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mal Waldron with Eric Dolphy & Booker Ervin The Quest (Original Jazz Classics Series) £36.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Craft Recordings SKU: CR724 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 27th September 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Thelonious Monk Quartet With John Coltrane At Carnegie Hall Jazz | Blue Note | 2LP Released 28th June 2024 £56.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thelonious Monk Quartet With John Coltrane At Carnegie Hall £56.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: ABLU49795 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 28th June 2024 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?
