Robert Glasper - Golden Lady (1 Mic 1 Take)

[@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.

[@groovciti]

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

[@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.

[@dennisfitzgerald661]

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

[@diogesesmore9874]

Like Jon Batiste, touched by God - God whispers joy to us through their fingers

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 ❤

[@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...

[@ryanburchett8455]

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

[@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

[@d179654582248]

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

[@CaptainGinew1]

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

[@ricosuave53]

Relaxing at home on a Saturday afternoon. Decided to listen to a tune that I’ve loved forever (the original version by Stevie) and then I found this version. Wow just wow is all I can say. 👏👏👏

[@NathanHuiYi]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@charleswilliams8248]

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

[@DJKimani628]

Derrick is an incredible artist in his own right.

[@sasham152]

I could listen to this for hours

[@franstylz08]

I have been doing exactly that.

[@ecavmas2369]

the sounds of two very accomplished musicians.

[@GODs_Son777]

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

[@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.

[@SimonJefferis]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@PadraigOg-1959]

Stunning take of a beautiful song

[@pollyloughrane3753]

I've loved Stevie's forever... This is just fabulous 💋😎✌️

[@brandoncallegari7614]

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

[@gksuddeth3860]

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

[@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.

[@CarlDoesMusic]

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

[@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!

[@msays1275]

I Know Mr Wonder is actually absolutely proud . Mr Glasper needed this. Much Love.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@GrantJolanta]

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

[@GV_777YT]

+Jo Cera haha i was just thinking the same !

[@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.

[@IncessantWake]

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

[@MrStevenjoseph1]

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

[@OS-yg9fr]

i ... (slapping my bum bum) agree

[@christhovhannisyan2074]

Underrated comment 👏!!!

[@virtuallycyndee]

I need Sirius XM to grace us with a Robert Glasper Channel. He is excellence!

[@nathoutaleternel1307]

The more and best description what a lady IS...with true highers complets faces WE get', and are. Thank you for that wonderful subtil mix. About life about women about th earth...in one mic one take. All that IS suggested. Simply Mercy expression...givin'me lot of courage. Thanks so' Sometimes when men speak with the right notes about the essential, it's just like Dreams coming true. 🌺🌺🌺

[@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

[@frankie8991]

Beautiful! What else can I say? Stevie is a national treasure for sure.

[@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...

[@Bashanvibe]

How did I miss this!!! Beautiful Stevie Wonder tribute 🤔 and this is one of my favorites!!! Now I have a reference on how to solo over the changes!!! #GoldenLady 🔥🔥🔥

[@akshitsrivastava8569]

Man glasper is something else his touch is from some another glass planet

[@mpjproducer]

One of the best Stevie jon'ts evah!!!! Thanks Robert Glasper for your beautiful interpretation

[@tintswalo2931]

Can you call a song a luxurious song? because this embodies it honestly

[@CaptainGinew1]

I agree... even if Jazz isn't your thing, no reason to dislike this. None.

[@Tiggybel]

what am I listening to? pure genius, Stevie is my idol, but this man knows how to make music, any music, so calm, comforting enriching, man I am so in awe of this all...

[@BlackCulturalPreservation2023]

AMAZING... A NEW LEGEND. It was nice meeting you when you played in Bilal's band. Keep up the great work, Robert.

[@waynefoote3781]

Mr. Glasper...you are complete MAGIC on the Piano!! @ Also great job on the Bass Sir!!

[@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.

[@rcaive0875]

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

[@twentysixlinx327]

My favorite Stevie Wonder song of all time. I was blown away when Stanley Jordan used it to demonstrate how to compose a memorable song beginning. The bass player here is terrific! Wish more folks knew it. Thanks for covering it.

[@CMcCail]

I looooove this song, cant believe he covered it!

[@musiqluver913]

I could listen to him all day long...

[@kevinwest7458]

I used to sing this when I was fourteen a girl down the street had the prettiest golden hair and she was my first love.......

Your Golden Lady is really Golden! I keep coming back to this video just to be infused with the music and soul.

[@anmarshall1]

Very difficult to improve on Stevie Wonder, but this is astonishing. Robert, you just get better and better.....

[@fleyeoweii2108]

Zannavavich!!! I got so light-headed from those chord changes ... thick and loaded with some amazing note trajectory. I can tell you feelin' this man --- You are phrasin' like it is your breathing.I praise this kind of talent!

[@sassyna58]

i love this song and this pianist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@702Jeffrey]

Glasper shows his chops yet again he plays with so much lyricism it's simple incredible such a nice touch- never get tired of listening he always surprises!

[@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

[@potpie5417]

Simply outstanding. Time to search for more of these guys. Wow!

[@austin-purnell]

This is definitely the most underrated Stevie Song in terms of musical adventurousness...

[@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

[@a.d.whetstone9945]

My man dropping the bass all over the place! Well done....🎼

[@dr.lancewilliams337]

A wide range of expression in this straightforward interpretation. Nailed it.
