BEAUTIFUL!!!! This is the type of song you DO NOT touch unless you can make it special. You did

[@KuttyJoe]

It's amazing how good just the bass and piano sound with no other instruments.

[@AnEpicFatalityArchives]

+KuttyJoe that's the entire premise of the piano lol

[@selvinrector5933]

m

[@OS-yg9fr]

the entire premise? lol many pianists would disagree

[@ministerkimberly]

KuttyJoe I was a musician for many years and did NOT appreciate those ivory keys I played...now they are POPULAR 💜

[@fraterdeusestveritas2022]

Keith Jarret has some great work with just Piano and double bass and piano. And his bizarre vocals too.

[@gcobanimpendu2632]

You can literally see him process the sound in his head and play exactly what he heard. And this all happens within a split second. This guy "thinks" in music. The very same way we think in words.

[@Sparky19124]

It’s amazing... I noticed that too, God is good!

[@vinceriley]

I can see his mouth forming words although it doesn't move, and I can see his head bob as if he is about to fight, sorta saying " cmon, swing"..

[@lliamrmusic]

Believe it or not this is common of jazz musicians! At this level, it really is comparable to a language.

[@delightschwartz2155]

He's created his own aural language. Best we ordinary humans can do is to learn a bit of it, syllable by syllable. Meanwhile he's flying ahead of us....blessed.

[@leonesprit]

I always put this on repeat when I'm studying. Got me through those rough nights of studying.

[@maggiemead3241]

When I take my walk in the evening I listen to Robert, he takes my anxieties away.

[@jenniferkiraly9711]

I am so happy I found out about Mr. Glasper. I play his music daily in my art classes now. Incredibly talented..I am so grateful for his gift.

[@rickey5813]

This is definitely an art 🎨 good choice

[@Nicole-kx9vg]

Me too. 😊

[@waynefoote3781]

Man what does your art look like girl???? Great inspiration!

[@BahDolby]

I'm so glad this exists

[@juankristof]

Aaron Dolby wow

[@stephaniejackson6853]

Such a musical Crush I'm so happy you guys exist get me through hard times Happy Valentine's Day

[@frostyfreezerman]

I wish I had an ounce of that man's talent I could practise till the cows come home and still come up empty this is just perfection.

[@dennisfitzgerald661]

What a fantastic version! The man is the best living keyboardist; no question.

[@theodoremcclendon8468]

God Bless Steveland Morris. And these fellows are tastefully retaining the beauty of the original chords.

[@danamurray735]

Yes, in deed

[@roylewis440]

Yes in deed, actually my fav. Stevie wonder song adding with Too High. Two best tracks

[@thejesterday70s56]

Roy Lewis indeed, Too High's bassline is the shit, and Golden Lady is a forgotten classic...

[@sasham152]

I could listen to this for hours

[@franstylz08]

I have been doing exactly that.

[@thaigboprincess7723]

I AM IN LOVE with this ARRANGEMENT~! It's beautiful and perfect for a 1st wedding dance! Robert Glasper doesn't just Play Music he CREATES IT~!

[@klapsker714]

Amen our Sister ❤

[@DJKimani628]

Derrick is an incredible artist in his own right.

[@laurenb6861]

Golden Lady… the song my dad played for me when I was a little girl. It touches my soul to hear Mr. Glasper perform it!!

[@robertglasper7691]

Hi fan.

[@ryanburchett8455]

The tone of that piano is incredible. Glasper's recordings in this studio are some of the best I have ever heard.

[@CarolinaMartucci]

you can't help falling in love...this is so nice.

[@Geaotrix]

Carolina Martucci Totally agree, inspired me to create this soundcloud.com/dommini/shine-lady-in-gold?in=dommini/sets/old

[@chrisjames9538]

This brings peace to my troubled mind

[@baseguitarist1]

You have no idea how deeply that hit me right now.

[@SelahSelahSelah]

I can relate to both of you.

[@OS-yg9fr]

@@SelahSelahSelah i can relate to you relating to both of them

[@croay]

damn, me too

[@danceromel]

Wow, as with the other replies, this too hit home with me NOW as I ride the stressful Green line through the west side of Chicago!

[@PabluchoViision]

Robert Glasper, from a fellow piano player, you are the real deal. Beautiful work! And a huge tip of the cap to Mr. Derrick Hodge. Very well done, gentlemen.

[@SimonJefferis]

I love when people have mastered their craft. Boys.... beautiful playing. Class.

[@charleswilliams8248]

Robert G is no joke, this is sweet and soothing! Oh yeah the bass player is on point as well!

[@GODs_Son777]

I pressed the 'like' button before I, even heard the song, because I knew it was going to be good. lol.!

[@CaptainGinew1]

love the fact that Glasper seems to be humming and taking his breath while he plays.. awesome!

[@jimhutchison]

huge admirer of this man have been for a while ,when you coming to scotland ,though to tell the truth struggle to find kindrid spirits here in scotland

[@NathanHuiYi]

The space between the notes, the duo format, the monochrome shot... Adds up to something that touches the soul

[@d179654582248]

This was so tremendous I started to cry at two different moments! I think Glasper might be my favorite modern keys player!

[@MrStevenjoseph1]

This boy here.......(slapping my knee) he is a beast.

[@OS-yg9fr]

i ... (slapping my bum bum) agree

[@christhovhannisyan2074]

Underrated comment 👏!!!

[@cubedcommunities_mn3242]

I woke up from having nightmares and put his on :) sigh of relief.

[@waynegordonhouk]

Thus, why we do it

[@jazz4asahel]

The nightmare is that we don't have enough good stuff like this.

[@ministerkimberly]

That Cuber Lady YYAASSS 💜

[@warunagomis]

Golden Hands

[@janellegrimes4806]

I am so happy I was able to see Robert Glasper at Prospect Park in Brooklyn, NY two years ago. What an amazing performance. 😙

[@klapsker714]

I am jealous

[@Netm8kr]

Damn, I love RG's skills. Watching him play each track as if he's creating it on the fly. But with such prowess on the keys. A true joy each time I experience his music. Peace...

[@ecavmas2369]

the sounds of two very accomplished musicians.

[@thomaspena7257]

Beautiful interpretation of the Stevie Wonder hit.

[@OS-yg9fr]

calm down

[@gksuddeth3860]

A touch of rain and sunshine made the flower grow into a lovely smile that's blooming...

[@dinogreene6674]

Derrick is no joke on that Bass..... In the background keeping that rhythm but, as,they say, him aint no joke. I should like to follow both of these young artists

[@MKwaalDiop]

Heard a piece the brother played from "The Photograph" and ...the jazz is, I just cant describe the words ....and im old school, (Miles, Coltran etc) I love this rit here.....Young bloods doing black music much justice.

[@Drummerladd257]

18 dislikes!? Come on, people this is Jazz at it's finest coming from two greats!

[@klapsker714]

Many people can't appreciate on this level.

[@brandoncallegari7614]

I love Rob's solo...the beginning is so tastefully melodic...that's some soul food right there, y'all!!!

[@ebaychick30]

Such genius effortlessness...playing that piano like he's chillin at the park...Love BOTH Black Radio projects can't stop playing Black Radio 2. OMG. amazing.

[@GeorgeGeeSr]

You can take any Stevie song and dwallah! Simple melodies with open space and let the genius of the musician interpret what they feel. and these two don't skimp on imagination. Beautiful interpretation.

[@PabluchoViision]

Totally agree with you... except the melodies aren't simple, they just sound like it... I think that's a big part of his genius, and yes I believe Stevie Wonder is a musical GENIUS. The harmonies and melodies are astonishing, unexpected... magical. I listen to "Golden Lady" today, probably 40 years after I first heard it, and it's still a revelation.

[@priscillaqwilson3324]

+PabluchoViision Absolutely. I played this repeatedly upon my belly during my pregnancy. I wanted a "golden baby"😁 Stevie listens to God. And I got my Golden baby.

[@lilaammons7298]

Well said.

[@divingchicago]

No, his melodies aren't simple. Maybe it's just me or you were a child prodigy as well. A chord for each note, so many 13th's and heck i think a couple of 16th's. lol. That is Stevie's magic his songs sound so smooth but once you look at the sheet music, WHOOOAAA! Heck, it took me a while to play if you really love me. be blessed

[@45gforce]

@@PabluchoViision ON POINT U R. HE MAYBE BE OUR LAST MUSICAL GENIUS.

[@theTrend7]

can we just enjoy the music here instead of bringing so much negativity... All the people talking nonsense and trying to make sense with it....just stop. This is for all the people that brouht in their debates and conversations about Race while I was trying to enjoy Robert!!!

[@theTrend7]

and yes I spelled brought wrong....my fingers were frustrated!!

[@divingchicago]

Exactly! No, his melodies aren't simple. Maybe it's just me or others were child prodigies as well. A chord for each note, so many 13th's and heck i think a couple of 16th's. lol. That is Stevie's magic his songs sound so smooth but once you look at the sheet music, WHOOOAAA! Heck, it took me a while to play if you really love me. be blessed

[@charlespressley1178]

Stevie wonder would be proud.

[@Sured70]

What a recording! Glorious playing

[@jasonzucker8464]

Nobody reharmonizes like him. He's such a fucking genius.

[@jazz4asahel]

Jaw-dropping good stuff. What does reharmonize mean?

[@kheperasekmet5197]

Like fredmelodies says Improv is the best

[@GrantJolanta]

i am IN LOVE with these peoples comments..... makes me feel so close to yus all

[@3VLN]

+Jo Cera haha i was just thinking the same !

4:47 to 5:00 takes my ears to heaven

00:00 to 07:12 takes my ears to heaven

My ears went to heaven AND they are still on my head because heaven lies within. "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." Luke 17:21

[@darylricketts6439]

Robert and Derek killed this one. Awsome job!

[@rcaive0875]

Just what my ears and brain needed. Thank you Robert and Derek! :-)

[@ckaidawson8932]

Love it, listening to you play reminds of the musicians in my family. My grandmother was an outstanding classical pianist and now my mother has taken her place in church and in our families band. As a singer, I feel very inspired by all that you do. Keep up the Excellent work.

Instant fan...took me right away!

There aint even a drummer and I'm head boppin' the whole way...

Love this guy's playing.

No way this good. Two Stevie Wonders here. Derek working the ground floor, Robert running the elevator.

[@CMcCail]

I looooove this song, cant believe he covered it!

I love how they switch between lead roles from keys to bass and then back. Musicians will understand.
