Jason Moran & Robert Glasper

DOMENICA 16 NOVEMBRE ore 11
JASON MORAN/
ROBERT GLASPER DUO
Robert Glasper e Jason Moran sono fra le più significative e conosciute figure di pianisti nell’ambito della musica improvvisata odierna: il primo si è affermato con uno sperimentale connubio fra hip hop, blues, soul e jazz, il secondo con un approccio estremamente innovativo e avventuroso, ma in cui il rapporto con la tradizione africana-americana, da Fats Waller a James P. Johnson, è imprescindibile. Con tali capacità, i due artisti si uniscono per dare vita ad un’affascinante rilettura dell’intera storia della musica africana-americana, con risultati che sono certamente spettacolari ma, ancora di più, sanno offrire una visione della propria tradizione interamente rivolta al futuro attraverso trascinanti brani originali e superbe riletture di pagine di Albert Ammons, Andrew Hill, Thelonious Monk, Ornette Coleman, Herbie Hancock, in una sofisticata rivisitazione della tradizione del pianismo stride.

What's amazing is Robert Glasper's technique, which he almost always keeps under wraps in his more commercial recordings. I'm very new to Glasper, and found him playing opposite Jason Moran, whose playing I do know and admire a lot. I then went to Glasper's trio, and Glasper playing solo. I actually like this concert best. I'll have to look up "pacman noise" since I'm a senior - though a former jazz pianist - and sometimes I don't know the lingo.

Beautiful

I was privileged to see them both on the Blue Note cruise last week. I was hoping they would play together but it didn't happen.

[@ArtBusker]

[@jordifaxon2839]

I was just thinking the other day, "These two guys need to play together."

[@mellotones]

Jordi Faxon Same 😂

[@LeslieLanagan]

We were all in high school together, but this is the first time I've heard them play together. Robert and I were three years behind Jason. We went to the High School for Performing and Visual Arts in Houston, Texas. They're famous and I can almost find my car keys every morning. :P

[@LasseSchjerning]

4:54 so good

[@MilestonePictures]

robert glasper... the only guy to play the pacman noise on piano as jazz

[@axisboldaslove5726]

I know Where you're going with That - But still: A bit Coarse!

[@MelodiousThunk]

You mean the thing that he starts doing at 7:51, right? I personally really like the effect. The issue is just that he does it a lot, and it's too distinctive for anyone who listens to him a lot to fail to notice that he does it a lot.

!!!!!

[@randywall8101]

Moran would make playing a typewriter sound good

[@kwamealievergreen4257]

Are they playing blue skies in the beginning?

[@TehWinnerz]

JM >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>RG. But the latter way more famous. Sad.

[@GregFeezell]

My impression is that Mr Moran plays with everyone and finds a way to connect and collaborate, while Mr Glasper tends to play with a cohort of like-minded players. But that might be unfair.

[@mellotones]

Why does it have to be a comparison???

[@TehWinnerz]

@@mellotones because Robert Glaspar is far, far, far more famous than Jason Moran

[@mellotones]

@@TehWinnerz All I’m saying is they’re playing together because they clearly respect each other and you’re making it into a competition 🤷🏾‍♂️
